ebay rating is a function of transparency of information (condition, return policy, shipping cost, etc) and efficient execution. it's not an indicator of general price level, since buyers are free to bid whatever they want for an object, or to not enter into the transaction at all. in other words, i don't think it is legitimate for a buyer to give a seller a negative rating because the price was too high, or indeed to complain in general that the seller "charged too much". -rei On Dec03 21:37, Don Williams wrote: > Interesting listing on eBay.
