Interesting. That would seem unethical to me, to remove negative feedback. So, then for every other buyer on gunbroker this would mean the rating means nothing at all and is useless. How do you know they do this? My understanding is sellers will jump through hoops to aviod negative feedback, but if that is not the case, want to know. Have not been on GB actively buying anything for a few years, so - maybe I am out of data with the times.
I personally have never had any issues with any sellers on GB, all positive experiences.
I had an issue with an unethical seller on GB. He was a high volume seller with thousands of positive feedbacks and a 100% feedback rating. I paid over $1K for a Colt 6920, and when I asked for a shipping date the seller told me it was he didn't actually have it but he would ship it sometime in the next few months when it was back in stock. I asked for a refund and the seller refused to refund me initially, then once I got the law involved he charged me a 20% "restocking fee" before refunding my payment. I left a negative review but it was removed after a day or two. The only action that GB took during the process was to erase the review I left after the ordeal.
