Tom, for god's sake, you can choose to hide your feedback. Even a retarded monkey can figure out that someone using a hidden feedback must have some problems, and if they then choose to risk buying from that person, well, buyer beware. Can we please drop this garbage ebay crap. It is not my problem

Hello List, I recieved a phone call while typing that last message, I can not type and talk at the same time! : ( Ebay says the feedback is there to protect the people using ebay, right? If ebay allows you to hide the comments left about you, does that not defeat the feedback's purpose? I know you
