These aren't 'likes' on facebook, these are testimonies which validate that you are a legitimate and trustworthy individual to enter into a financial transaction with.

But eBay no longer functions according to reputation. It's grown to become an amazon, if you will. Reputation means nothing, for a buyer they will win in the event of a dispute. For a seller, they will lose in the event of a dispute.
Reputation isn't a factor in trading in eBay anymore.
Just MHO, obviously...
