Buyer: Leave Positive Feedback for a Good Seller

Always leave feedback after you put the finishing touches on a transaction. Leaving feedback, and thereby helping other members, is your responsibility. eBay’s feedback system judges sellers on several different points. Did you get your item as described? Did the seller send you e-mails keeping you abreast of your shipment progress? Shipping times can be deceiving. Be sure to check the postmark date on the package label to see when your seller sent the item. It’s not fair to ding the seller’s reputation because an item rerouted itself in the mail.

Sellers are judged on your detailed seller ratings; a low star rating can even cost them money (eBay discounts fees to sellers who have top service ratings).
