Sadly, it seems hardly anyone shares your attitude. The paralyzing fear people have of getting even one negative is ridiculous. Rape victims are probably less afraid to testify against their attackers than most eBayers are about giving negative feedback where it's warranted. Probably the biggest reason why eBay does in fact suck. Did you ever go to the old Maxwell St market in Chicago. There is a scene from it in The Blues Bros. movie. The scene with John Lee Hooker.Anyway, for the most part Maxwell St was a Saturday morning bazarr stocked with stolen or hijacked goods of all types, weird & oddball vendors selling all kinds of weird and oddbal stuff, and carts selling the best Polish sausage you ever had. Visualize Marrakech w/o falafel, on the South Side of Chicago. Gypsies, tramps & thieves....and that, IMHO is what eBay has become. The cyber Maxwell St. Buyer AND seller be very, very cautious. YMMV CRAP!!! now that Cher song is stuck in my head....
