What in the world does feedback mean to our reputation; does it really have a ton to do with it? Why should it matter what my reputation is; I can get by regardless...
can't I? The short answer is: no.
Oddly enough, the long answer is also no.
Feedback is going to effect us on eBay in a variety of very real ways.
Let's first talk about the positive effects of Feedback.
High, positive, feedback can help us in a variety of ways: o In order to have listing options that are advanced, an eBay seller must have ten feedback or more.
o You need at least 100 Feedback to become an eBay Powerseller.
oIf you get good feedback, you are going to have more sales.
People will trust those who have good feedback from eBay sellers and buyers.
If all your feedback is positive, you may qualify to be an eBay Powerseller.
Positive feedback will actually help you accomplish more of your eBay long-term goals.
Being a Powerseller on eBay is a great ambition and you should always strive to reach that goal; good feedback will help you reach it.
Negative Feedback will set you back quite a ways.
Negative feedback has the following effects: oYou guessed it, negative feedback can cause you to lose your status of Powerseller.
If you're losing feedback, be careful, you could lose your footing and lose everything.
oIf you actually get more negative feedback than you have positive feedback, you could be prevented from seeing quite a few of the listings on eBay! oBuyers are not going to be interested in buying from us if we have a proven bad track record.
These people cal all see your history of feedback and if it doesn't look good, they're not going to want anything to do with you! We are going to live and die based on Feedback on eBay.
Positive feedback is rewarded on eBay.
If we have negative Feedback, we will be punished.
It's really as clear as that.
We should strive towards perfection as much as possible with eBay, as it will be to our benefit.
