Idea for an browser add-on for eBay

[Andre81]

Hello everybody,

 

I'd like to share my idea for an browser add-on for eBay. Often we see bogus listings on eBay, reproductions sold as prototypes etc. My idea is an add-on that allows AA members to add a note (warning) to such auctions. Other members will then see this note.

 

Functions would be:

 

a) Flag a seller

b) Flag an item

c) Recommend an item. Similiar to the sticky here where you can post interesting items. Others can then vote (thumbs up/down) to avoid abuse of the function.

 

Any other ideas?

Rate this auction out of 5 stars? How detailed is the description? How are the shipping costs? How is the starting price? Something similar to the different areas you get to rate when giving sellers feedback. Even if the stats are public the seller could be notified if the rankings fall too low. Perhaps a little explicit assistance for those failing to see the invisible hand of the market at work?

But couldn't it be abused by giving undeserved bad ratings?
