Hard to belive for me. Ok, I can only take myself
as example, and a Feedback couldn't change the bid
in any way. If I want an item I will bid as far as
I belive it is worth. An all negative feedback could
maybe avoide bidding at, but this hasn't happen 'till
now. The way Auctions are described shows way more
about the personality then any feedback - especialy
when taking in account that americans tend to praise
anything that just works out ordinary in bight colours.

I also stumbled within the last year across more
than one seller with a positive feedback, witch
turned out to be a real troll later on.

Gruss
