but why does this seller has only positive evaluations?

Probably because he sells to people who have no idea what they are buying are NOT period original items

and ate ignorantly happy with their purchases.

Just who is this "am-militaria"? Anybody have other dealings with him?

He also has photos for sale. He is not faking those. Is everything he sells typically fake, or just the medal bars? Does he expand into ribbon bars?

The irony is that if these medals are original , he would have gotten more for them if he had sold them separately. It seems that many people are on to his game.

Probably not, as he's usually using common, cheap awards, that as singles sell hardly in Germany and Austria. Some of the less common are doubtful anyway.
