That's logical, but: I have been clinging to the hope that the feedback system in ebay manages to keep things relatively honest.
I have wanted to ask this list this question, but I think the list may be getting burnt out on ebay talk for a while. Anyway: The feedback system: Can any registered user provide feedback on a sale, no matter how new the feedback providing user is? If so, feedback is a fearful thing indeed, and this is as it should be (save for abuse). If every ebay user is allowed to provide feedback and all feedback is taken equally seriously, then the seller is compelled to provide good products and services for fear of a tarnished reputation. The only scenario I can think of that would circumvent the power of negative feedback is that of a seller constantly re-registering under a new identity. Though this would be flawed in that if this was done, feedback would start at zero again for the "new" seller. So for a high percentage of vehicles that are sold on ebay to be turds, then I wonder how the system works? I am asking honestly, because I am considering ebay as a source for vehicle purchase.

Guess which category 90% of the cars fall into?
