The Ins and Outs of User Feedback

Next to every buyer and seller's name on eBay is a number and (more often than not) a colored star. (Figure 2.1 shows my personal star and feedback number.) These numbers and stars represent that user's feedback rating. You can use this feedback information to determine the trustworthiness of your fellow eBay users; in general, the larger the number, the better the feedback—and the more trustworthy the user.
