Feedback ratings on greedbay, you can see a pattern thru demographics

I was just looking for a timing belt for my lil' toyota corolla that was given to me and checking out feedback of the sellers.   I found that those who did the ground effects also sold motor parts and etc. etc.

The thing that I found interesting was that many of those sellers had large negative feedback ratings.   I know this may be a profiling or generalization, but it would seem that those who are mainly interested in those "drift" packages would also seem to be the same that give and receive many negative feedback ratings on ebay.

I found this interesting because in the mopar group on ebay, negative feedback is just that, negative and unwanted. I myself have a 100% feedback rating.

This may be connecting some distant threads, which is what my hypothesis may seem as to be doing, but I believe that the younger generation and those that surround themselves with the new generational fads are more apt to show irresponsible ebay etiquette as well as immaturity.   I know, I know some of you are like "RD, DUH!@@@!@!@#" , but hey it was an interesting dichotomy to see how one spectrum/continuum of ebay strives for positive excellence, whereas the other uses negativity so flippantly without regard to their, or the other interested party's, own credibility.

something to ponder on, waist 45 sec of your life, or in cudaken's place go get another beer for, belch! :D :D :D

It can't be generationally based. I happen to be 19 years old and proudly hold a 100% feedback rating on eBag  :icon_smile_approve:

I get it :P

Although I'm not sure spectrum or continuum would be the right word there.
