Come on, guys, we've discussed before how the feedback system on ebay
has all sort sof problems.
Yet you guys routinely talk about how you won't deal with someone who
has a number less than some arbitrary cutoff on an imperfect system
that has all sorts of problems.
You can't have it both ways. Either ebay's feedback system is flawed
in which case the numbers don't mean a whole lot other than a rough
indicator, or the ebay feedback system is reliable enough that you can
set arbitrary minimums on percentages you're willing to deal with.
