Feedback system flawed?


Have you ever had a terrible experience with a member with a huge positive feedback rating? Have you ever read a feedback that is a lonely negative among many positives? Do you usually discount that lone negative feedback as a person with a chip on their shoulder? Thoughts and comment are appreciated.

I generally don't trust anyone with less then eight feedbacks (just kidding). People with a long string of feedback are usually great to do business with. Having said that, I have had a lot of successful transactions with people possessing little or no feedback. I handle these cases a little differently. I personally wouldn't worry about a person with one lone negative. Usually it is left by a disgruntled newbie or possibly just a hard person to please. I like this site ten times better than e-bay. That doesn’t mean it's perfect so always do your homework and trust your instincts.
One more observation I've made concerning feedback. Be carful when people put numbers next to their names.This is slightly deceptive in that it implies that the number is their feedback rating. I am having problems with one such person as we speak.
