eBay is a fantastic platform for business, and since its inception, great importance has always been placed on the acquisition of good feedback. In fact, to a degree, almost every eBay seller has a dependence on a positive feedback reputation to ensure their business thrives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As every eBay seller<\/a> has no doubt discovered, building a reputation on the platform can be painfully slow. This is frustrating when you need all the positive feedback comments you can muster and as fast as you can gather them, to ensure buyers have confidence in you as a seller. This is particularly important if you are new to eBay.<\/p>\n

Once you are established and your feedback has grown into the thousands, it becomes less vital, but as a newbie seller, it\u2019s critical you achieve an essential feedback boost early on, to prove your trustworthiness, instil confidence and fundamentally, to enable growth.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, for sellers, the lack of feedback left by buyers can be disappointing at times and it\u2019s not always easy to remember to send an eBay feedback reminder to your customers. It\u2019s important to understand though, that some buyers will never leave feedback, and that\u2019s because it\u2019s their choice \u2013 after all, eBay feedback is voluntary. Alongside this, some buyers just don\u2019t understand how to leave feedback and there is a percentage who are just super slow or forget altogether!<\/p>\n

Of course, there are also those eBay buyers who leave feedback always. Usually, veteran members who have used eBay for many years.<\/p>\n

As an eBay seller, you will be aware that you require a continual stream of positive feedback comments gathering within your account to satisfy buyers who view your feedback before a purchase. It\u2019s one of the main parameters when a potential customer is deciding whether to buy from you or move on to the next seller!<\/p>\n

But how can you ensure your eBay feedback score consistently grows so that people feel confident dealing with you?<\/h3>\n

1. Purchase Items on eBay<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re new to eBay and need to get your feedback score off the ground fast, a simple way to gain some traction is to make some purchases from other sellers on the site. Become a buyer, just for a few transactions.<\/p>\n

If you decide to use this method to build eBay feedback score, you should choose to purchase items from sellers who have feedback between 100 and 500. These are sellers just like you who will be looking to boost their own feedback and so are more likely to reciprocate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You should also stick to a budget and choose to purchase inexpensive items so that you are not spending money unnecessarily. Alternatively, purchase items that you require for your own business needs, for example, packaging supplies.<\/p>\n

When purchasing on eBay, make sure you pay for your order immediately. Sellers like quick payment and are more likely to leave positive feedback for prompt payers.<\/p>\n

Once your order arrives, check it over immediately and leave feedback. A quick response is likely to result in the seller also being prompt in leaving feedback for you. In fact, the longer you delay in leaving feedback, the more likely it is that you won\u2019t receive any in return, so be as organised as possible.<\/p>\n

When you leave your eBay feedback<\/a>, make it personal as this appeals to the seller directly. If your feedback is extra nice, they will feel obliged to do the same. For example, instead of stating \u201cA+++++\u201d, a standard comment and used by many who automate comments with an eBay feedback tool, take the time to write:<\/p>\n

\u201cArrived quickly, beautifully packaged and exactly as described, thank you.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This makes it personal and is more likely to bag you a feedback comment in return. Once you have some feedback and are selling quantities of products, an eBay feedback tool<\/a> will be invaluable to you. But initially, it\u2019s all about the personal touch.<\/p>\n

2. Make Volume Sales by Selling Inexpensive Items<\/h2>\n

This is an alternative way to increase your eBay feedback and can potentially bring you between 50 and 100 feedbacks in just a couple of weeks. It\u2019s important you pick the right product when implementing this strategy, so you\u2019ll need to focus on items which are lightweight, easy to pack and post and trouble-free to the customer. In other words, avoid anything electronic or difficult to use. You want multiple, easy, trouble-free transactions, resulting in quick positive feedback.<\/p>\n

To set this strategy in motion, you\u2019ll need to source between 50 and 100 units of an inexpensive (but good quality) product from a wholesaler. The product should cost you between \u00a31 and \u00a35 per unit. Try and source as economically as possible as the likelihood is that you will make a loss, not a profit! Don\u2019t worry, there\u2019s a reason for this. Just follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n
