Probably kick them off sooner so they can come back under a new name.

The feedback system on Amazon.com is one where only the seller gets rated and 
it works good.  I have bought mostly books and ink for my inkjet printer, and I 
have never had problems buying from sellers in the 90% range.  This seems to 
work well, perhaps that is where eBay got the idea.  I think if they had used 
that idea from the beginning it would have worked much better.

Ebay is like most of the big corp's these days.  GREEDY to no end.
