That's not how eBay feedback is seen or used. It is almost
completely _quantity_-based. You'll see people say, "I don't think
someone with such a low number feedback should be making comments
like that." Even if the person has 5 purely positive comments.
There are some good people selling things on eBay. There are also a
lot of losers selling tons of crap on there who think they're
"better" than anyone with less than 100 comments.

Conspire? I HAVE dealt with Larry before. I left feedback because
I wanted to, not because I'm conspiring with him.
