Do you think the ebay feedback system is flawed?

I think that it is somewhat flawed. I mean someone that sells boxtops or something so cheap and petty should not have the same rating system or be on the same level as someone who sells all high dollar items. What do you guy's think?

Well I don't mind that so much, the buyer can evaluate each seller on their own merit; what I do mind is the NPBs having the ability to leave a retaliatory neg feedback.

Most of the feedback is from people who buy stuff. So you can buy a bunch of stuff and increase your rating. If you want your stuff, you have to pay so you're getting points, but that doesn't say how reliable you are....it just says you got a deal on what you ordered.

exactly, I have yet to give NPB bad feedback fearing they will give me a retaliatory feedback.

yes, buyer/seller should be separated for that reason. No way a person who buys alot should be able to have a better rating than a good seller who sold the same amount as that person bought. Also, small very cheap items should have a different system than for large item sellers, they dont belong having the same caliber feedback.
