Re: Problems with Xenon dealer?
I have never used eBay before, but I order a lot of computer parts online.
Pricewatch.com list the ratings of different companies based on customer
feedback. I have found that the % rating is rather meaningless without
looking at how many people have posted feedback and what the commonly
reported shortcomings are. A dealer could have a 100% rating, but only
because all 3 of their FBs were positive.

The problem with Pricewatch and other such review sites is that the feedback
they report is totally independent of the actually buyer-seller transaction.
It is collected on a voluntary basis from a very small, insignificant number
of buyers. Those that do leave feedback are often very polar in their
opinions. On the other hand, feedback on Ebay is an integral part of their
entire system of connecting buyers and sellers in an auction environment.
Feedback is not just collected for sellers, but for buyers as well. Since
many transactions are single-item auctions, it is important that the buyer
have a good rating so the seller knows he will be paid timely and as
required. Of course the buyer wants to buy from a seller with a good rating
so he knows he will get what he pays for. Every transaction that occurs
there is "expected" to result in feedback for both. Of course there is no
"requirement" that either leave feedback for the other, but it is such an
ingrained part of the system that it does happen most of the time.
I buy and sell on Ebay and have a 100% rating. As a buyer, I always pay
quickly. As a seller, I always accurately describe my merchandise, I pack
it well, ship it as quickly after payment as possible, and I communicate
with the buyer to thank them for their business and supply shipment tracking
information. I am not a power seller; I simply sell "junk" that I no longer
need. I do expect that I will deal eventually deal with some nut-case buyer
that will ding me for something stupid. I have also purchased merchandise
from sellers that have had less than a 100% rating, but only after I read
some of the comments to see what others say.
The bottom line is that Ebay feedback is a key part of the business
conducted there, unlike the unsolicited feedback on Pricewatch and other
"independent" review sites.
