Be Good and Receive Positive Feedback on eBay

1. Log on to your eBay account (see Resources below).
2. Click on "My eBay."
3. Find the "My Account" link and click on "Feedback."
4. Click on the "Leave Feedback" button.
5. Choose items you have bought or sold for which you have not yet left feedback. A list of these items will be presented to you.
6. Click on the items for which you wish to leave feedback.
7. Leave positive feedback by clicking on the circle beside "Positive." If the buyer or seller of this item has not yet left feedback for you, leaving positive feedback for them greatly increases your chances they will reciprocate.

If your item descriptions are accurate, your shipping policies are fair and you ship your items (or pay for them) promptly, you can be sure plenty of positive feedback is coming your way.
