Stars can go away.

exactly this!

I think the much better feature over the silly star system is the option for sellers to reply to feedback left for them. Some problematic sellers are so lowbrow and uneducated that they seem to relish any opportunity to dig their own graves with these replies! It's hilarious to see how many of them have long histories of absolving themselves of any responsibility, blaming anyone or anything else for their own litany of issues! ...and you can double my disinterest if the seller proves they have yet to master spelling, grammar or punctuation. Funny how these things always go hand in hand, isn't it?!
