Just watched Watchdog and then came online to check it - but it's true - people are selling positive feedback on eBay.

The only thing that has ever made eBay relatively safe has been destroyed, and now I'm not really very confident of buying anything from anyone.

This really sucks.

'Tis a good point, but what about when the item's have become invalid, you know - when you can't click on the item number anymore?

Especially if they only bought feedback at the start to gain a quick reputation.

Add that to the final value fee the seller has to pay of course.

I tend to get some mates to bid up the price of some items I really want to sell for more. If they happen to win it, then we give each other positive feedback, all for the price of a 25p listing. shhh dont tell eBay... :P

I sell feedback all the time.

I tend to give them free dvd's, games and cd's with it though.

When you want to buy something go into the sellers feedback and check what items they have previously being buying/selling, if they've been buying positive feedback don't buy from them.
