Can't please everyone, but you shouldn't look else where if someone just has 1 negitive feeback. I look elsewhere if I see the feeback is below 85%
His feedback was close to 100 before he started the scam. People didn't know. No one leaves a negative feedback the day after they buy it. They normally wait about 7-10 days. This was all done in a week so people didn't know it was a scam yet.

6T6CPE's right. Look at the dates for the negative feedback they are all within about 3 days from each other. He had a pretty decent percentage before he decided to scam all these people. He either had this planned for a long time or he just up and died before he could ship, lol.
Even still, I never buy unless they accept paypal and they have at least a
95% positive feedback, and thats only if I cant find someone else selling the
same thing with 100% feedback.

I won't buy if they wont accept pay pal, I'll bite on 98% or higher positive feed back.
Walmart doesnt even score that high on yahoo shopping.

If you go back a few pages on the feedback, he had multiple 'mutual withdrawals' of feedback. That smells like skunk to me. There were subtle signs 2 weeks prior, but most of them all got hit in 2-3 days.

Bingo, there was PLENTY of evidence to suggest this person was not right. So those that proceeded anyway are MORON'S hahahaha

Just a little research can do wonders...
