Eso:

I thought of several different ways that I could reply, but instead I just want to ask you one question: what PLANET did you say you were from?

What is dishonest about having separate buying and selling IDs? Before you answer, keep in mind that the ONLY reason you create a separate buying ID is so that you don't have to worry about retaliatory feedback from a dishonest or poor service seller. This allows you to "do the right thing" and leave a neutral or negative feedback, when warranted.

The feedback system, as good as it is, has a major flaw, retaliation. Having separate IDs is one way to minimize the flaw. I can understand that you are not happy that you received an unjust negative feedback. It's the perfect example of why people should have separate IDs if they do both buying and selling. FYI, between both of my IDs, I have way over a 400 rating, 100% positive. Most of it from selling expensive three and four digit vintage hi-fi components and tubes.
