Make Money on eBay - When Do You Give Feedback?

By Bob Hamilton

Do you want to get into a controversial discussion regarding eBay? Then try mentioning the right time for a seller to provide feedback to buyers. Those who make money on eBay know that a track record of positive feedback is one of the keys to selling success. There are many strong opinions out there regarding how to get that feedback, and when to provide feedback to buyers. There are also many real stories about experiences that sellers have had with feedback. The good news is that most of those stories are positive.

For every seller who says to provide buyer feedback as soon as payment is received, there is likely a seller who would wait to provide feedback until payment and feedback has been received from the buyer. To make money on eBay for the long term, sellers need to be able to expect appropriate feedback from buyers.

Strategies that some sellers use include asking for buyer feedback, asking for buyer feedback with the reward being that seller feedback will come immediately following receipt of that feedback, delaying seller feedback for a time frame to provide time for the buyer to provide feedback first. Other sellers simply provide feedback upon receipt of payment with the hope that buyers will be fair in their assessment. All of these strategies have benefits and costs associated with them. Make money on eBay by establishing your feedback process and always following that process.

To make money on eBay requires that each seller determine the right feedback strategy for their particular business. Whether feedback is provided immediately upon receipt of payment, or only after receipt of payment and buyer feedback, or anything in between, feedback remains a critical piece of the transaction. Make sure that as a seller you provide feedback before you call the transaction complete.

To your eBay success!
