Ok, my particular seller has an ebay positive feedback score of 85840, which 
= 96.9%. I only see 2 feedback comments when I click on 'View Seller's 
Feedback" and they're both positive. When I click on View All Feedback, I 
get stats, but no actual comments, or even any way that I can just view the 
negatives, wich I guess is a good thing since for the past 12 mos alone this 
seller has 35421 positives, 1165 neutrals and 1972 negatives. Think I can 
read through a representative sample of that in less time that it takes to 
type this paragraph?
Like I said, all this positive feedback makes the feedback system 
meaningless. Show me a score that will indicate if I should look at the 
negatives, then actually make those available should I decide to read them 
to determine the nature and extent of those negatives. That'a all anybody 
needs.
Service trucks don't have stickers that say, "Call 1-800 if I'm driving 
safely." and the Better Business Buereau doesn't keep a file of fan letters 
to businesses.
If one has to sift through 35000 positives to find <2000 negatives, then 
imo, the feedback system is accomplishing the exact opposite of what it was 
designed to do.
