All eBay buyers and sellers know that eBay assign stars to determine the level of ratings in a twelve point scale, the first being the yellow star and the last being a sweating star.
Recently, a French eBayer wrote in to eBay to protest the use of yellow in the star, saying that during World War II, when France was occupied by Germany, Jews were made to wear a yellow star on their clothes to single them out and be discriminated upon.
Surprisingly, eBay listened to him and changed the name of Yellow Star to first star, though they haven't changed the color of the star yet. eBay says that this is the first time they have received such a complaint, but of course, most countries do not have an issue with a yellow star and in fact, new eBayers would be happy enough to receive just about any colored star!
