You have that quite wrong, Erny. The feedback can only reflect badly on 
bad ethics or give no information. I suspect you don't have all the 
information on how it works.

The feedback cannot be touched by the person it applies to, and you have 
to be unable to read to not find it useful as all get out.

New name means no feedback. That means no sale. Too simple? I neither buy 
from nor sell to folks with zero feedback messages. Too risky for anything 
but trivial amounts I'm 100% willing to lose.

No reputable auction site allows simple name changes, without warning 
(e.g., e-bay's dreaded "shades"). You normally must come up with a whole 
new credit card with a different name and mailing address for each change. 
Feedback starts all over at zero, either way. Not too easy for a thief to 
do, anyway.

My e-bay handle is whuntley. Go read my feedback messages. I cannot edit 
them in any way. Each one has to be from a unique individual and from a 
totally different transaction. Would you say I am a good person to do 
business with on e-bay? If not, why not?
