I was looking somebody up on eBay to block them (second person today, the other is a Vcoins dealer) because they did not leave me feedback after multiple purchases. He runs a fairly well known monthly coin sales list, recently updated to an online auction format. What I found interesting was that this person had bought from four known fakesellers in the last month-- so be careful if you are bidding in his auctions.

Good to know, thank you! On a separate note, I am actually curious why missing feedback is so important to you as a seller. I did not sell on ebay for a while, but I remember not to care much about it if buyer didn't open dispute.

Not leaving feedback does not concern me so much if it is a collector (in fact, it happens frequently that buyers do not leave feedback) , but I get fussy when dealers buy from me and don't leave feedback, especially when I have left them feedback. I view it as a lack of professional courtesy.

Apparently its getting so that "good looking Fakes"   are not disputed. 
Sellers are seeing an opportunity for profit, if the fake seller is not getting negatives then these "Fake " coins are acceptable now to the general collector. 
I have a few real coins that look really beat up.  Why not have a few cheap , good looking fakes to show my friends
I'm just saying that's probably how people think
