Has anyone seen the possible new way of feedback on Ebay?

The last couple of items I have bought in the last couple weeks have had this type of feedback? I don't like it but what do you think?

Agreed- there is definitely going to be a selection bias with that set-up.
Ebay has never figured out how to make the feedback system 'work'. What they need to do is weight each feedback according to a) the final price of the item, and b) according to how many transactions the buyer has conducted. A + feedback from a buyer with a rating of 15000 on a $2500 purchase should mean much, much more than a + from a 6 feeback bidder on a $3 purchase. Until they weight it, they won't have a very accurate gauge for determining who should be rewarded with FVF discounts and other perks.
Working on the following: 1970 Baseball PSA, 1970-1976 Raw, World Series Subsets PSA, 1969 Expansion Teams PSA, Fleer World Series Sets, Texas Rangers Topps Run 1972-1989

Successful deals to date: thedudeabides,gameusedhoop,golfcollector,tigerdean,treetop,bkritz, CapeMOGuy,WeekendHacker,jeff8877,backbidder,Salinas,milbroco,bbuckner22,VitoCo1972,ddfamf,gemint,K,fatty macs,waltersobchak,dboneesq
I don't have time to go through all that to leave feedback. If they go to that permanently, I would imagine it would kill feedback as a viable method of determining a seller's worth.
