Feedback on Ebay
Tips and FAQ for a Home Business

Once you have the money and the item is shipped out, it's time to worry about feedback. If your buyer paid promptly, then really, they immediately deserve a positive feedback. They did everything a buyer can be expected to do. By the time you are selling an item, you should already have bought 10 items to get a sense of what feedback should look like. Each person has their own feedback wording they like to use, but in general it's well worth it to be very verbal and positive if someone pays promptly. That is a very worthy buyer that you want to encourage.

As far as the person giving YOU feedback, you have to do several things as the seller to earn a high rating:
* Send an invoice quickly, if they didn't just pay you without prompting
* Respond quickly when you get payment, so they know it was received
* Package your item well so that it definitely arrives whole
* Send a little added item if you wish
* Give them feedback

If you do all of those things, then you deserve a positive feedback in return. Rarely have I seen situations where feedback is even a problem. People love to reward people that do well. It makes them happy. So if you send out your item promptly, and it is what you said it would be, then people are quite happy. They will give you a feedback in return.

If you mail the item out and do NOT get a feedback in return within a week, then feel free to write them to verify that they got the item. That usually prods them into putting in the feedback. Some people just forget to do it. We all lead busy lives. If someone doesn't give you feedback even after a gentle prod or two, then let it go. You're going to find on eBay that there is just a percentage of sales that doesn't give a feedback. In the grand scheme of things after you get numerous feedbacks, you don't even care about the few that are missing. Does it really matter if you are 275 or 276? If you start to push someone, they are likely to give you a questionable feedback :)

Once both feedbacks are set and the buyer has his item, you are all done! You can remove the item from your reports if you want, and move on to your next sale.
