do YOU get some personal self esteem from Ebay feedback??

So I really can't say I'm an Ebay addict.. I kind of go in fits and starts.. I have periods of time where I tend to use ebay allot then I'll go months with out buying anything.. I wouldn't say I'm at a period of ALLOT use now but I just recently purchased a box of reeds for Brad (at half the cost as the store, including shipping, not to brag or anything).. and 2 rolls of vinyl for my nifty cutting machine.. (it was WAY cheaper than the craft stores and i can get as much as i want instead of just one little square)
anyway I'm getting off topic.. (what a shock!) am I the only one who gets a little excited when my feed back rating goes up one more.. its like free adulation.. people who have never met you saying "ada girl!".. or things like "A++ Do business with this e-bayer", I have dabbled in selling on e-bay, when i was doing little girl hair bows i did some (found it wasn't worth the time/energy for what people would pay for them) then I cleaned out my craft closet and sold some stuff (the mentioned punches in the previous post.. GONE!.. and I did OK on those too BONUS!).. so I ALWAYS posted nice feedback but I've noticed a trend for NASTY feedback I mean I get it wen people don't pay or stuff you on stiff you on what your purchased you need some remedy but come on the nasty stuff people put on these things it's down right personal.. and how about those folks who won't post any feedback until YOU (the buyer) post positive for them.. ebay has actually changed some of their policy's regarding this but previously it's like they were holding your good feedback hostage.. and if you felt there shipping was slow or the product wasn't quite in mint condition as stated in the add they would leave you NEGATIVE just for your honest feedback.. I must not have been the only one who felt that was unfair because now if you leave negative for a seller they can not retaliate I'm not exactly sure how that all works I just know it seems like a good change...
so here's my question to the all of 2 people who read my blog.. am I the only one who feels a since of happy when people who have never met me give me a cyber "high five".. or do I need to look into why I'm needing that kind of validation Hmmmmmm.
