Perhaps I've missed some rule(s), but it appears a glitch in the feedback system that, if you are a horrible unethical cheating slimey buyer-only, when you turn to sell you'll have a 100% feedback. Also, if two people are equally good sellers, one will get a higher feedback rating as he use his seller's account to buy, while the other doesn't buy. It's true information on selling history is available, but, as noted above, many just look at overall feedback score. All these people will notice is that the horrible unethical slimeball has perfect feedback.

My opinion is if there isn't honest feedback for the buyer, there should be NO feedback for the buyer. In the current system, buyer's feedback is meaningless (Everyone gets 100% buyer's feedback in our lollipop world!) to deceptive.

Under the current system, if bank presidents were the sellers and John Dillinger was the buyer, John Dillinger would get 100% buyer's feedback. How does John Dillinger or Charles Ponzi having a perfect buyer's feedback rating help anyone on eBay (other than John Dillinger or Charles Ponzi)? What useful information can any eBay buyer, seller or browser get from Ponzi's 100% buyer's rating? What useful information does one get from anyone's 100% buyer's rating, knowing that everyone has the same rating?
