Help: Feedback withdrawal
Buyers and sellers can withdraw feedback they have left for another trader on Trading Post® Online if both parties agree to the withdrawal.
About Feedback Withdrawals
- When feedback is withdrawn, the feedback is removed and the member’s rating is recalculated.
- Either the buyer or the seller can apply to withdraw feedback, however both parties must agree before it is withdrawn.
- A request to withdraw feedback can be made only once. Therefore, the buyer and seller should communicate first to make sure both are in agreement before the request is made.
- Feedback may be withdrawn within 120 days of the last feedback being provided.
- A Feedback Withdrawal request must be accepted within 7 days. If, after 7 days, the request has not been accepted, it will be automatically rejected.
- If a request to withdraw feedback is rejected, the buyer or seller may not apply again to have feedback withdrawn for the same item.
- Once feedback has been withdrawn, the buyer and seller cannot provide feedback again for the same item.
