I think the changes I've outlined will make feedback padding that much harder. Right now all a vendor has to do is sell a one cent item to themselves and bang, their review is at the top. If they have to build up a solid rep in order to get their reviews toward the top, it is that much harder, and if we identify fraud, then we can kill the buyer account and force them to start all over. Regarding timely updates of a vendor's performance, I have an idea for this, but I don't want to put out too much at once.
