That is to say that my feedback rating has finally hit 500.

Feedback Score: 500  
Positive Feedback: 100%  
Members who left a positive: 500  
Members who left a negative: 0  
All positive Feedback: 567

I also have 5 stars\* on all the detailed seller ratings (based on 41 transactions).

- OK, there’s the tiniest sliver of grey on the rightmost star against P&P charges - which annoys me a bit, because I never overcharge on P&P, in fact on multiple purchases, I often subsidise the shipping cost a bit - what do people want?

I’m not at all surprised. If the facts had been revealed without a name, you would have been one of my first guesses. 🙂

I have one neutral - back from the very early days when I sold something without an adequately decent photo and the buyer was disappointed with the item in the flesh (I gave him a refund) - but this is now diluted out of the current statistics anyway.
