How Do I Build Up My Feedback to My eBay Account Fast?
Whether you're planning to start a business on eBay or just enjoy shopping from the comfort of your home, you'll need to build up your feedback to show that you are a trustworthy seller or buyer. Feedback consists of comments and ratings given to you by people who buy something from or sell something to you. Buyers are typically rated on how fast they pay. Sellers are rated on accuracy of product description, communication, and how quickly the item was shipped. Build positive feedback on eBay in a short amount of time by purchasing or selling a number of small items.

How To Build Positive Feedback On eBay Fast
-
1
Purchase inexpensive items to build feedback. Search for inexpensive items to purchase. Narrow your search by looking for something you collect or something you can use around the house. For example, a kitchen tool can be purchased for as low as 99 cents plus shipping.
-
2
Purchase at least five items. As a buyer, having a feedback rating of five in a short amount of time shows sellers you're a serious buyer. If you're a seller, having five feedbacks allows you to sell your items with buy-it-now listings and fixed-price listings, instead of only auction style. A buy-it-now listing can result in a quicker sale.

Leave feedback first. Most sellers are wary to leave feedback first out of fear that positive feedback might not be reciprocated. Taking the initiative to do so first will prompt them to feel confident about the success of the transaction. If you are the seller, it's acceptable to send the buyer a polite message asking if they would leave you feedback (if they haven't done so after receiving the item) and explaining that you are trying to build up your feedback.

4
Sell unused and unwanted items to build up feedback. Sell sought-after items at reasonable prices. eBay has a What's Hot section under the Sell tab. This explains some of the latest hot-selling items. If you have any of these items, jump on the bandwagon. If not, list any unique items or collectibles.

Tips & Warnings
Communicating with buyers to confirm their purchase and payment and let them know you've shipped their items will help you to earn positive feedback.
As a buyer, beware of shipping costs. Avoid items that have a low selling price but high shipping.
