You are right in your assertion that feedback for
someone
who is a bidder makes little difference. However, for
a seller (like myself) it is extremely important.
For example, I just had two auctions end tonight in which
my bids for both of the items were about double that
of what is usually realized on ebay for the same identical
items. This happened because I have a perfect feedback
profile and that alone results in higher bids. I have seen
it time and again. My advice to anyone who wishes to sell
repeatedly on eBay is to do whatever it takes to protect
your feedback profile. In my case, it means a policy
of satisfaction or money refunded (and I have rarely
been asked to grant a refund).
Hard to belive for me. Ok, I can only take myself
as example, and a Feedback couldn't change the bid
in any way. If I want an item I will bid as far as
I belive it is worth. An all negative feedback could
maybe avoide bidding at, but this hasn't happen 'till
now. The way Auctions are described shows way more
about the personality then any feedback - especialy
when taking in account that americans tend to praise
anything that just works out ordinary in bight colours.
I also stumbled within the last year across more
than one seller with a positive feedback, witch
turned out to be a real troll later on.
