You must also look to see how long they have been registered. Someone who has 10~15 feedbacks but has been registered on Ebay for 3 or more years should be no problem, but even that is no guarantee.

How careful would you be? You must think the same way here. The Feedback is not the only indication of a “safe” Ebay seller. You must also look to see how long they have been registered.
