I always find it curious that people look at Ebay’s reputation system as a model, or refer to it as sophisticated. Insofar as a true reputation system it has to be absolutely primitive because it puts far too much power in the hands of those reviewing the seller, and fails to provide any dispute resolution process. A few years back I sold something on Ebay and the woman that bought it clearly didn’t understand what she was buying because when she received the item in question she flamed me in the feedback. But I was essentially powerless to do anything about it, aside from enter a comment in response to her feedback… but that’s about as effective as getting a newspaper correction on page D36.

The first is the now well covered Photo’chopped photos that Reuters carried and then retracted, and the second was the less known case of Kevin Corazza v. Kris Krug.
