no I guess it can't be that FP, none of those shops have any negative FB.

I think this is FP. It was up about a half hour before the OP posted that this seller was on the FP:

And I think the shop is beadstyle from Richmond, VA, with a feedback rating of 94%, female, born on August 17.

It looks like all this shilling occurred on September 25.

thanks both of you!
so the shilling account is CatalystPhotography? It seems to be a real shop, selling stuff, but the feedback all being left on the day of purchase is quite fishy.
And now beadstyle has some fresh negs, above all that shilling feedback anyway. So much for trying to cover up the negs.

Could be that a local friend bought from her and she hand delivered the items that same day.
