If inventory was commingled, and you might not even get the item from the seller you picked, what was the point of the 5-star rating system?
Was it meant to rate the product, not the seller? If so, that’s probably not how most people understand it.

The main problem I have with the way Amazon product ratings are structured is the grouping of products under a single rating. Particularly with electronics, e.g. the 32" variant of a monitor might as well be a completely different product from another manufacturer when compared to a 27" variant from the same product family - yet there can be a dozen variants under a single rating.
