That said writing a review is probably too much effort for a fly by night scammer and so probably shows that they are OK. As it is not possible to put external links in reviews/guides the possibility of fraud is fairly limited It is actually quite easy to become a top 1000 reviewer (in the UK at least) so people should not hold too much faith in the title.

However, you can become NARU for insanely silly reasons, it doesn't necessarily mean you're reading the review of a scammer. Most people who become NARU work to get their account back in order. I don't think it'd be right to necessarily delete the sellers reviews, especially if they've had a positive impact on the eBay community and we're scored well by readers. I'm sure the reviews are monitored and deleted when appropriate. I spoke with my account manager and was informed eBay only deletes reviews for misuse of the system, and will not delete reviews just because an account has been suspended.
