We are the 99%. That is, the 99% Positive Feedback on Ebay.
Good Point Recycling / American Retroworks Inc. was a pioneer on ebay. I sold a lot of sewing machines "as is for repair" back in 2001, and got our first "delighted!" feedback from a sewing machine conaiseuse who was looking for several of these and found them good homes and loved that we had scavenged them from the scrap metal bin for reuse. Later I learned that certain very long monitor cords and cables were hard-to-find, and selling the longest ones out of the scrap copper proved appreciated by ebay buyers worldwide.

But you can't please all the people all the time. From time to time we are with 100% positive feedback, but eventually someone doesn't like something in the used, as-is, for-repair market.
Even full refund policies are no guarantee to please the most picky ebay bidders.
This year, my favorite bad feedback was for a sale of scrap gold to an international bidder in Eastern Europe. The negative feedback arrived in Spanish (?). Evidently, the delay from shipping time caused the scrap value to decline on world gold markets. Since the value of the gold scrap was worth less on the day they got it in Eastern Europe than it was on the day they bid, they wanted a full refund. Without returning the gold.
Hmmmmmm. Refund? Or live without 100% feedback?
