You're replying to a very old thread, but you'll find the "Rating Requires a Review" option in all of your items and you can set this if you wish.

Rating / Reviewing Preference: Require reviews with ratings of your item, exclude this item from the quality (star) rating system, or for the most feedback, leave this setting unrestricted.

"Unrestricted" will garner your item the most feedback possible. The item's average received rating and number of ratings received is publicly displayed to all viewers.

"Rating Requires a Review" will eliminate feedback from readers who do not wish to type-in a textual review of your item. The item's average rating is shown only to you.

"Comments Only; No Ratings" removes the rating and review area from your item and replaces it with an email form allowing members to send feedback. No "anonymous" feedback may be sent to you with this option. This option removes your item from our public listing categories, including our public "Reviewing" page.
