Is ebay feedback worth anything on Audiogon?

I guess I'm curious as to the value of stating "check my feedback on ebay" when someone has little or no audiogon feedback history. While I may be cautious of new sellers here (it doesn't mean I won't buy from them, I do and we were all new once), sending me to ebay for feedback usually turns me away from the ad. I don't buy or sell on ebay because it's such a scammers paradise. Does ebay feedback matter?
Another thing while I'm up at 4am, how hard is it to put the "New Retail" price in the ad? Items that are 4-5 years old I understand, memory fades, but something bought within the last year or within the last month? If I have to do the seller's reseach in this regard, I skip the ad. All of those boxes are there to fill out to help sellers. The more information, the better.
It's 5:30 now and I guess I'll get some coffee. Good morning everybody.

Definitely its important to deal with Seller with good postive feedback whether its audiogon or ebay. So far my experience in audiogon is excellent with seller with low feedback. However on ebay, its treading on dangerous water if u deal with anyone with low feedback. Even power seller can be unreliable. I have a couple of bad experience in ebay. Last year I have a seller www.watchstore24.de whom I won a bid ( accidentally- too long a story to explain) for a watch worth USD17600 ( tht what the bull at the watch site) for only USd1035. When I receive the watch its packaging is worse that a cheap japanese watch seller for USD50. I immediately contacted seller for refund and he reluctantly agreed. However when I sent it to him, he turn around and complain to ebay i didnt pay for the watch and thru paypal denied that he has received it. I have to go thru Germany post ( took me 5mths ) to proof that he actually signed for it. Finally he paid after 5 mths and ebay/paypal ruled in his favour 5mths ago. Another seller refused to sell an item that I won and there is nothing I can do despite complaining to ebay. However if U bid and won and dont pay, Seller can send u an unpaid strike. How is tht for fairness
Recently I was conned by Dingbat$ and when I complain to ebay, after 2 weeks only 1 response fr ebay and till now still investigating and now he is continue his conning way
BEWARE OF DINGBAT$ (EBAY)
As for audiogon, good experience with every sellers I have deal with so far even those with low feedback. However I thk we shld proceed with cautious with low feedback sellers
