Feedback System
When you are
dealing with strangers over
the internet, it can be
difficult to know who to
trust. Can you send your
money to this person and
trust them to send you the
product as promised? Will
the products arrive exactly
as they were displayed and
described, and can you trust
a seller to provide a refund
if needed? To fulfill the
online community's need to
feel safe purchasing from
eBay, the founder introduced
the feedback system, in
which sellers and buyers can
post vital information
regarding their dealings
with one another.
One of the most important
elements of an eBay
transition is posting and
receiving feedback; it is
the backbone of the eBay
format. Leaving feedback
consists of ticking the
positive, neutral, or
negative option as desired
to rate the eBayer and
transaction, then writing a
short comment. This way,
buyers can post their
opinion about a particular
seller, giving other buyers
access to information
regarding the reliability of
the seller, what kind of
customer service they
provided, the refund
policies of a seller, and
any problems that may have
been encountered. Sellers,
on the other hand, can check
if certain buyers tend to
pay on time, if they
sometimes request undue
refunds, or anything else
that may be revealed by
previous transactions.
The positive-feedback
percentage is not the only
thing that eBayers look at
to determine the reliability
of a seller or buyer. It's
also important to look at
how many feedbacks were
given for that amount. The
ratings of each transaction
are combined to give a
score, also represented by a
color-coded star. A yellow
star signifies an eBayer
with a feedback rating of 10
or more. There are several
more levels, ending with a
red shooting star for
feedback ratings of over
100,000.
It is well-known that most
buyers prefer to do business
with highly and positively
rated sellers. Because of
this, many eBayers,
especially sellers, work
very hard to get and
maintain a high feedback
rating. There are many
things seller can do to
improve their eBay feedback
rating. One is to always
ensure that you describe
your items accurately and
include photographs that do
not deceive buyers. You can
also improve your score by
maintaining good
communication with the
buyer. Contact the buyer to
work out details. Always be
on the ball to resolve any
problems. Be there to answer
questions quickly and
pleasantly, even if the
question seems silly or the
information is provided in
the item description.
You cannot change bad
scores, but by making sure
you get only positive ones
in the future, you can
improve your overall score
percentage, helping other
buyers or sellers to feel
more confident trading with
you.
