Get Positive Feedback on eBay

eBay has become one of the largest on line markets in the world. With millions of visitors every day it’s no wonder why it has grown so quickly. Feedback is one of the tools eBay uses to rate its buyers and sellers. Without it there would be chaos and there would be no way to tell if a buyer or seller is reputable. Here a few tips to how to receive positive feedback and retain it as you continue selling.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer
  • Internet Access
  • eBay Account
  1. Step 1

    In your listing, include precise information about your products details, shipping charges and return policy. Make it simple to read, add pictures, etc.

  2. Step 2

    Respond to inquiries quickly via email or messaging through eBay. Give them an honest answer.

  3. Step 3

    After your auction ends maintain constant communication with the buyer, send them and invoice requesting payment with a nice message asking them if they have any questions and thanking them for their purchase.

  4. Step 4

    Address all complaints as soon as possible. Buyers may request a refund and in order to still receive positive feedback, it’s a good idea to do as they please as long as they ship the item back.

  5. Step 5

    Be the first to leave feedback on a transaction, this shows that you’ve taken the initiative and buyers will usually be inclined do the same.

Tips & Warnings
  • Leave feedback as soon as you receive the money
  • Create a Paypal account
  • Be nice and helpful to your customers

on 8/1/2009 Another important way -- block buyers in the first place who potentially misbehave. At www.trustedblacklist.com lots of sellers share their blocked bidders/buyers list. Using latest list at your eBay account will save you lots of time and profit. (there is an article at eHow for how to block buyers).
