An important conclusion of our results is that eBay's reputation system gives way to strategic responses from both buyers and sellers. We also find that the sale price for identical goods varies across sellers with differing feedback records: a 1% level increase in the fraction of negative feedback is correlated with a 9% decrease in price 1 A natural experiment based on a change in eBay's reporting format suggests there is indeed a causal relation between seller reputation and sale price.
