<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 1759472, member: 11854&quot;]As a longtime buyer <i>and </i> seller on ebay, there is much truth on <i>both </i> sides for that cartoon. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I believe ebay understands or anticipates that a number of buyers who are quite happy with all aspects of a transaction will leave four stars instead of five stars for the transaction.&nbsp; This is because a certain percentage of folks will reserve the five star rating for those transaction that somehow transcend the typical buying experience.&nbsp; Given this built-in four star limit for the vast majority of transactions within this pool of buyers, ebay can institute a system where sellers have to maintain a near-five star rating with only the slimmest margin for error if they want to receive lower ebay fees.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Most buyers don&#039;t care if they ding a seller and cause the seller to have to pay higher ebay fees but, in the aggregate, higher seller fees are passed along to buyers who then pay more for the product while the seller receives no more for this product and the extra money goes into ebay pockets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
