My theory is, what's the point of the trustworthiness system of feedback,

at no risk, I'm honest, why shouldn't I do this?

You're confusing honest with stupid. If you can find people to agree
to this, more power to you, but it's not because they're honest I can
tell ya that much.

You really think ebay feedback is an indication of a person's
character? What an honest assumption to make.

So if feedback is the only requirement, how does a new buyer or sell use
eBay? Many eBay frauds start with the con artist building his/her rating by
selling small items, or by buying small items. They get let's say a 100%
feedback on 30 items. They can now pull the sting.
