Feedback taps into the gamer/rank hunter mentality for some people. The stars change colour, that gives the impression there's something to achieve simply by amassing high amounts of feedback, if but on a barely acknowledged level (I can assure you there are walls around Australia that do have eBay FB certificates on them......)   When I hit 1000, what achievement will be unlocked? 😮

Don't ya  get a red star Digi! I dream of a red star! It'll match my car and my Mickey Mouse watch LOLOL

but ROFL - I remember when my email came congratulating me on all of my hard work on achieving 500, and giving me a congratulatory certificate that I could print off and hang on my wall...

That made me laugh.... sheesh - not even a frame??? seriously??? after working so hard to build up a FB score of 500 in only 4 years? OMG! I had worked soooo hard at buying and selling - and not even a frame, or a party with cake? seriously?
