Exactly.  I was silly enough to buy from a guy with 'private' feedback, on
eBay, and I got ripped off.  Even though most of his feedback was
positive.  When I left negative feedback he had the nerve to retaliate by
leaving a negative for me, too.

I would run, not walk away from any seller with a 'private' feedback
profile.
