Help: Sending feedback

Remember to send feedback to the buyer when you sell your item via an Auction or Buy Now ad.

Why should I send feedback?

Feedback & Ratings are important as they:

  • help you build a reputation on the quality your trading experience
  • allow you to check the reputation of another trader
  • provide sellers and buyers with the incentive to trade fairly

After all, if a member doesn’t keep to their end of the deal it may result in negative feedback and affect their ability to buy or sell on Trading Post® in the future!

About sending feedback

  • Feedback you send is:
    • visible to all sellers and buyers in your member profile
    • cannot be edited – you can’t makes changes to feedback you send or receive.
  • Provide feedback after you’ve received payment and sent the item and when you consider the sale to be complete.
  • Try to resolve any disputes or misunderstandings with the buyer before sending any negative feedback.
  • Remember feedback comments you send are a reflection of how you conduct yourself online.
  • For guidelines on sending feedback to members, see Feedback & Rating Rules

What should I write in my feedback comment?
Consider the buyer’s trading behaviour.

Did the buyer:

  • Pay for the item in a timely manner?
  • Communicate promptly and in a reasonable manner?

Questions about feedback

  • When do I receive the buyer's feedback?
    The buyer may respond after they have received the item and your feedback. They can only send feedback once and respond once to feedback they have received. Feedback is posted on your member profile.
  • What if I think the feedback I’ve received is unfair?
    If you consider a buyer’s rating or comments to be unfair, you can send a response to their comments. If you both agree you want to remove the feedback another option is submitting a request to withdrawal feedback from your profiles.
