  Can one buy from Amazon without an account?
ebay?

Not sure about those sites, (actually, I think maybe you can on Ebay), but I
do know that you can buy from Walmart, Target, LEGO and TRU without an account.
The draw for creating an account is that you don't have to enter in all your
personal info every time you place an order.
Darren

Target, TRU, Walmart etc are single stores. They do not work on a community style
basis. They don't use community style tools like feedback when a buyer buys.
They do their own security checks when taking payment. If people can buy without
accounts, then bl may as well remove the option of negative feedback for buyers,
or remove feedback for buyers altogether and go to a system like amazon where
only sellers are rated.

Sorry, I wasn't intending to say I want this, I was just stating facts about
other sites. I do not want to remove or change the feedback system at all.

Darren

If you don't need an account to buy, then negative feedback for buyers is
redundant. Buyers intent on scamming won't bother with accounts and there
will be no way of flagging rouge buyers.


More than just feedback -- it would also made stoplists irrelevant.
