Something very strange is going on with ebay feedback that perhaps someone
else can explain to me.
I came up this silly idea that I would try to find the oldest feedback that I
could on all of ebay. Following several peoples feedback profiles, I would
click on whoever first left them feedback, then I would do the same for the
next feedback profile, and so on.
Anyway, I drilled my way down to a UserID "bnixon" that had received some
feedback way back in mid-1996! The really strange part is that the userid's
that left this "feedback" did not become registered ebay users until quite a
period of time after the feedback was left, and in some cases it says that
they were registered.
Any ideas? Have some UserID's been hijacked?
http://cgi2.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?
ViewFeedback&userid=bnixon&page=38&items=25
and then for date of registration:
http://cgi2.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?
ViewFeedback&userid=svengali@earthlink.net

| (...) Neat...that caused me to check my own...My first received is 9 Aug 96. (...) Funny! This guy gave me feedback on 25 Aug 96. (My second one!) eBay seemed so much smaller then. (I mean, it WAS smaller.) Chris (24 years ago, 1-Jul-00, to lugnet.market.theory)
