To get the desired results in any business, including eBay, you have to show your ability to deliver on your promises.  In particular with eBay, it’s vital that you receive positive customer feedback.  You will have no problem selling your products through auctions or your own eBay store when you have good feedback ratings.  Negative feedback could lower or even ruin your opportunity to successfully sell in the online marketplace, so this is the last thing you want to happen.

If you want to have a successful eBay business, building a reputation for how you conduct your buying and selling practises obviously plays an important part in that business.  It is just as important to use these strategies as you would in a brick and mortar store. 

As a new eBay member, get started by getting familiar with how eBay works.  In a short time, you will find the easiest way to start receiving good feedback.  Buying items shows you how other sellers handle their customers.  Treat this as a learning process on the different parts of selling online.  Watch how the sellers behave and how the auction itself works. 

Don’t be afraid about asking for feedback from sellers.  As a buyer, the more feedback you get, the more you will become a good seller.  When you do start selling, you should always list products that will guarantee that you get some feedback from your buyers.  Do not ignore your feedback, especially once it gets into the large numbers. 

When it comes to negative feedback, your main goal would be to make certain you just don’t get any.  If you’re new to eBay, it is already difficult to sell your products because people don’t know you.  Make certain you treat every successful bidder, no matter how much or little you earn, as your best customer. 

Some sellers have earned what is called “Power Seller” status and you will hear this quite often.  It simply means that those sellers have gained more positive feedback while selling a certain number of products over the course of recent months.  These people are very successful in what they do.  The best way to learn how to be successful is to watch those who already are. 

It’s easy enough to do research on these sellers.  Read their feedback and see what their customers have to say.  You’ll discover that they offer outstanding customer service and their products are exactly what is presented on the auctions or in their store. Buying from these sellers is also a good opportunity to get some feedback for you.  Most top sellers are appreciative enough of their buyers to leave good feedback for a smooth purchase. 

Each feedback comment is important.  Turn to your buyers and ask for their opinions.  Let them know about your products in your eBay Store or auctions.  Look after your customers and watch your feedback score grow.

I try really hard to love ebay and just as I’m getting there, I get slap in the face with a wet fish! I do wish that they would look after their sellers a tiny bit instead of concentrating all their efforts on the buyers!
I have decided to leave a reply to the Feedback, then, if sales don’t improve, I will make Feedback comments private.
What do you think I should do?
