Personally, I care less about a feedback rating. I looked at my personal rating once since I have sold items on ebay and have never yet looked at someone elses. In addition, I have never ever asked for anyone to give me a rating and in turn I only post a rating if asked to do so.

I have just started selling slot cards on another auction block--must assume I have a ZERO rating standard--but yet received many bids for my cards.

When I sell an item (albeit, they are inexpensive items,) I mail the merchandise immediately to everyone and then wait for payment.

Bottom line. Once again, I take those ratings with a grain of salt. I use the BB as my rating guide. If a person is a slow pay, or a bad person to deal with, Greg's BB will reveal him and tell it to all the chipping community.
