I agree with you, Jim. Too many people have fallen into eBay's clutch regarding the quantity of feedback received without seeing eBay's motive. This is exactly what eBay wants, as it induces some sellers to list more and some bidders to buy more...yet very few people see eBay's power to change one's thinking and taste. Ebay is more powerful than many think, and this can be seen by the number of posts on this bb regarding certain matters. I simply leave feedback as soon as I receive payment, or as soon as I receive my purchase....and I can't believe how many do ask for a feedback to be posted to build up a rating. A person asking to be rated? Unbelievable! And the sad part is some believing it's important.
