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.

Is it not worth the price of a potential long term/serious/active member to buy or sell even some lower priced items here on Agon' to develop a decent, if not slight, feedback?
I think it is worth buying, let's say, a Signal power cord ($60) or a few c.d.'s ($20,) cheaper interconnects, or whatever.
Spend a few dollars, initiate or respond to a few threads, gain some respect, and, through a short amount of time earn some trust.
Feedback on another sight to me means just that. Feedback on another sight. No real credibility here, folks.
