It may have been. The offender claimed (as I remember) that the dealer accepted cash for 5 auctions when he was not even in the country. There is more to that and I'm not fighting other people's battles. I just read about it on the list and anyone can go look it up if they wish. It was a setup and could be proven. That's all that is important. The point is that it is technically possible for eBay to remove negative feedback if they opt to do so, as in the case of a criminal act.
