eBay's Exploited Rating System
After noticing someone had a dodgy rating in their profile I discovered they had actually bought positive feedback. In a community where-by positive feedback is essential to making a judgement as to whether a seller is less-likely to be the seller of fraud compared to other sellers, it would make sense to have some kind of filter? No, I don't see any in place.

http://search.ebay.co.uk/buy-feedback_W0QQsoloctogZ9

Example:

Quote:
New FEEDBACK ENHANCER BARGAIN BUY IT NOW NO P&P £0.99
Buy a new 5p coin for POSITIVE FEEDBACK £1.99
Buy my everlasting friendship, cheap +ive feedback £1.0o

Then you get a 5 pence coin and positive feedback, if you do not get the coin then leave negitive feedback

Re: eBay's Exploited Rating System
Ultimately though if you're a buyer then you're likely to check the item that was auctioned against the feedback and see that it was a false positive.

Re: eBay's Exploited Rating System
This is why you should never buy from these twats listing 20xSony Ericsson P910i for £300 etc.

They all have false ratings.

Buy a bunch of postives, wait 90 days then start scamming. Buy more postives and wait 90s then scam again.

Amusingly, a dutch woman in London was recently sentenced to 2 years for fraud for Ebay Scamming of about £70k.
