    How to raise an eBay feedback score?

    Anybody know hot to raise an eBay feedback score when you are just starting out as a seller?... I know if I buy some things that will raise it... I thought of also buying many cheap items from the same seller, and having that seller leave feedback for each item.. Anybody else know any techniques?? Help appreciated!

      Well... people want to see at least a feedback score of 200+ before they buy... So its tough when you sell items that are $50+ for buyers to trust a new seller... THerefore I need to raise it

            don't sacrifice profits.....just list your items at a price that will sell, communicate promptly with your buyers and ship asap and you will have plenty of positive feedback.

                  Always remember, no matter how hard you work to keep perfect feedback, eventually a 10" dick will come along a fuck you up the ass over something stupid. Perfect feedback is hard these days. Keeping it over 98% is enough to gain trust from buyers

                    Now thats a good idea! And I agree, my worst fear is some ass coming along and giving me negative feedback because I didnt ship the item overnight or something and god forbig he had to wait 3 days for priority mail.

                      ;) Don't let buyers get to you. If they leave negative feedback, request their user information and give them a call asking them if they know who you are. If their phone number is invalid, all the better ;) ;) ;)

                        If someone leaves me negative feedback, and I call them.. is it possible for them to recant their negative feedback?

                          If you pay $20 for squaretrade to remove it. The buyer has to agree. Leave him cruel negative feedback and see if he'll pay half to help remove both

                              It's not that hard to be a powerseller. Just don't get suspended from eBay for something stupid!

                              I should write a dirty guide to selling on eBay and then sell it on eBay and make lot's of money.

                                    Maybe in a couple years. For now ill use my knowledge of eBay to my advantage. I haven't purchase a single eBook on eBay. All they probably teach you is how to write good descriptions and keep customers and have good customer service. They do not tell you dirty selling tactics.

                                        That can work however:

                                        1) Your better off investing $30 by buying than finding 30 friends with different feedback ratings so it doesn't look obvous what your doing.

                                        2) Be careful you do not bid on an item from your eBay accounts IP or you will be suspended.

                                        3) You will still have to pay eBay fees.

                                        4) Selling items strictly for feedback will get you suspended but buying items strictly for feedback cannot be determined and eBay won't care

                                              They will but you could just be building an eBook collection so I don't know if they would say anything unless you bait it out in paypal receipts saying "please leave me + feedback because thats the only reason I bought your eBook"

                                              Plus you may only find 100-200 or so items at any given time with free/no shipping and buy it now under $1

                                              Remember, that once you sell 20 items and get 20 feedback from selling, no one really goes to your second page of feedback and sees that the rest of it was from buying $1 ebooks. Plus in 6 months or a year, they cannot even see the auction or know if you were the buyer or seller

                                                The problem with raising your score by buying a shitload of ebooks is that a buyer with half a brain will look up what you have bought to get your rating.

                                                I've seen people trying this to sell cars, nobody bids on their vehicles because they aren't THAT stupid.

                                                What I did was hold a garage sale on ebay selling a bunch of worthless crap. Shipped it all out and now I have a legitimate score. And you do not need 200 sales to gain buyer trust. I only have 54 and I have sold $800 items in the past.

                                                    Remember, that once you sell 20 items and get 20 feedback from selling, no one really goes to your second page of feedback and sees that the rest of it was from buying $1 ebooks. Plus in 6 months or a year, they cannot even see the auction or know if you were the buyer or seller

                                                      It is always a good Idea to remind the customer to give the feedback. Very often you will be selling to a customer that has nevwer bought this way before. So ask them to take the time to give the feedback.


                                                      Also, when someone does give good feedback, and then they purchase from you again, cut them a break on the shipping or something like that.

                                                        If my first 2,000 came from buying 1 cent ebooks, and my most recent 500 points came from selling, whos to know? Seems like a good tactic.

                                                          My personal experiences with eBay have been with selling stuff I find hitting garage sales, nothing better than buying a Ralph Lauren Polo shirt from some suburban wonk for $1 and reselling it as a vintage RL Polo shirt (which it was) to some dude in Germany for $22.00 plus another $15 for USPS Global Priority Mail.

                                                          I've been slowly cleaning out my closets, selling tech hardware from special projects collecting dust, I'm seriously considering attending the eBay Live in San Jose in 2005 as I want to start selling higher ticket items than I am now.

                                                          Now my advice to you is the same advice I gave my sister, sell what you know, sell what you can buy cheap and sell high, treat your buyers as if they were in your own store, offer them shipping plans you can deliver on, accept Paypal only, and leave glowing feedback.

                                                          Follow that and the feedback will roll on in, like porn, they will bookmark your eBay ID or store and buy from you, recommend your wares to their friends and family.

                                                          Hope this helps!

                                                            The more feedback I got the shittier the customers were. Over 500 or so and it was fucking madness. Fuck feedback, I told my people not to bother.

I know if I buy some things that will raise it... I thought of also buying many cheap items from the same seller, and having that seller leave feedback for each item.. Anybody else know any techniques?? Help appreciated!
                                                                    Depends what you are selling if eBay feedback score really matters. A high feedback of just buying doesn't give one creditability.

                                                                    I rarely buy from a power seller unless they have a buy now listing and their shipping is reasonable.

                                                                    From what I understand is that potential buyers really doesn?t look at your feedback post count but what you are selling or buying and how much did it cost. For example if I saw a digital camera for sale and I went and looked at the sellers feedback and he/she got tons of great feedback for being a fast pay for stupid/cheap auctions, I wouldn?t trust the seller and move on.

                                                                    For cheap tricks, list an item and have another person in another state win the bid.

                                                                          I rarely buy from a power seller unless they have a buy now listing and their shipping is reasonable.

                                                                          From what I understand is that potential buyers really doesn?t look at your feedback post count but what you are selling or buying and how much did it cost. For example if I saw a digital camera for sale and I went and looked at the sellers feedback and he/she got tons of great feedback for being a fast pay for stupid/cheap auctions, I wouldn?t trust the seller and move on.

                                                                          For cheap tricks, list an item and have another person in another state win the bid.
                                                                          It depends what your selling. If the product is new or used, and if they have options to buy from more reputable sellers. However, most eBayers rather save $5 than care about a couple negative feedback. That's what chargebacks are for

It just gets very annoying having to sort through everyone who's paid. Plus, NEVER leave feedback first if your the seller. Or just go ahead, and learn the hardway
