Back in the day when it was primarily an &quot;Internet flea market&quot;, although it didn&#x27;t use a star system, eBay was similar. Both sellers and buyers expected positive feedback accompanied with a comment like &quot;A++++++++++ turned water into wine&quot; so long as the reality wasn&#x27;t &quot;sent me a box full of bricks and axe murdered my extended family.&quot; Neutrals for a transaction that didn&#x27;t quite go right even if issues were resolved were NOT appreciated.
