Harumph... The LEGO "dealers" I have dealt with on eBay on a regular
basis all have extensive feedback praising them for items better than
described, quick delivery etc. Only rarely do they have a negative
feedback from someone who apparently didn't stay in communication. I
also note that several of the dealers I have dealt with do comics and
collectible cards also (or even as their primary buisiness) so it is not
just that LEGO perhaps attracts a nicer crowd or something (I would
suspect cards and comics to attract more sleazeball buyers than LEGO).

If you are a "professional, reliable, and respectable" dealer, your
feedback will reflect that.
