Feedback Rules
I need you to understand that feedback isn’t everything. Feedback should not be purchased through 3rd party websites or as a buyer of virtual or low cost items. One of the fastest ways to lose an account is through feedback manipulation.
On the other hand feedback as a seller is important. The more SELLER feedback you have the more trust is built up for your account. This is important for a number of reasons but the lack of feedback does not hamper your ability to sell on eBay. In other words feedback whether a buyer or seller shouldn’t be your primary goal with a brand new account.
Gain Feedback by Selling Items
As mentioned in the ‘New Account Rules‘ section, you’ll want to start off listing low risk items. This will enable you to gain FAST feedback. You should not buy items for feedback. There is almost zero benefit to buying items for feedback. It only puts your account at risk.
What to Sell for Feedback?
- Household Items
- Garage Sale Items (Carboot sales)
- Flea Market Items
- Dollar store (generally more expensive then other options)
Go to ANY of these places, pick up a bunch of cheap items and sell them on eBay. It’s an easy way to get started with a brand new account.
Don’t do any of the following..
- Buy cheap items for feedback (eBooks, virtual items)
- Use services like Fivver for Feedback (Very Risky)
- Sell High-Risk Items (Not until your account is more established)
- Sell Expensive Items (Not until your account is more established)
Next we’ll talk about purchased accounts!
