I sold on Ebay for several years with a consistantly high rating (99-100) and when I had a couple of unfounded lower reviews, they restricted my selling! Its like you said low ballers trolls and I had high end designer stuff with tags I felt like I had to lower my prices and those parties never got me any sales I am leaving too, You really hit it on the nose!

It doesnt take much to get SU status at all. As if anyone living in the United States could make money off a vintage, used, faux leather jacket, and would bother to try to sell one that was counterfeit.
