Feedback has an effect on reputation, sure, but what does that mean to us? Why should it matter what my reputation is; I can get by regardless… can’t I?
The short answer is: no. The longer 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 Feedback helps us in the following ways:
- First, you need at least 10 Feedback to have access to many of the more advanced listing options.
- You need at least 100 Feedback to become an eBay Powerseller.
- Consumer confidence; high feedback means high sales. People can trust you, and they’re not going to be afraid that you’re an unknown seller, and will shop with confidence.
In addition to the Feedback requirements, a Powerseller needs to have near-perfect DSR, which means you need to score perfectly whenever a buyer of yours rates how well you did as a seller. The positive feedback will help confer the multitude of powerseller benefits, and is a key part of accomplishing your long-term eBay goals. You should always strive to reach powerseller status if you are working on eBay, and feedback is an integral piece of that game plan.
Bad Feedback can hurt us just as much as good Feedback can helps us. Bad Feedback:
- Can cause us to lose our Powerseller status. You need near-perfect DSR if you want to be a Powerseller, and once you start slip and getting back Feedback, you can lose it all.
- If you gain more Negative Feedback than Positive Feedback, you will actually be blocked from seeing a lot of listings!
- Buyers are not going to be interested in buying from us if we have a proven bad track record. They can see our Feedback history, and if it isn’t pretty, they’re not going to stick around and try to deal with us!
We are going to live and die based on Feedback on eBay. If we have positive Feedback, we will be rewarded. If we have negative Feedback, we will be punished. It is as simple as that. We should strive towards perfection as much as possible with eBay, as it will be to our benefit. Stay tuned next week, and we’ll continue our crash course on eBay!
