And how does that help? Let's say seller has 98% rating what does
that tell you? Or said in another way how does it affect your
decision making process? I.E. would you pay 30% or even 10% more for
the same item with a seller who has 100% rating (for whatever that is
worth as ratings are very much manipulated by sellers and eBay).
It can be important at the other end of the scale.
If a seller has too many negative reviews, I read every one of those,
and decide whether the risk is worthwhile.
The feedback mechanism is biased towards giving positive feedback, so I
read a lot of feedback comments.
I bid on the item and, within my budget and what I think is reasonable,
the price is what it is. Most of what I am looking for is sun3 and
non-Sun SPARC systems which don't come up often. I look at what the
seller has sold before to help judge whether the description is accurate.
