Leaving feedback for sellersLeaving feedback for buyers
Each time you buy or sell something, you have an opportunity to leave feedback about your experience. Feedback consists of a positive, negative, or neutral rating, along with a short comment. Feedback ratings and comments help buyers and sellers build their reputation on eBay. This information is available in each member's feedback profile, and helps eBay users buy and sell with confidence.
If you’ve recently left feedback and you’d like to change it, you can find out how to add follow up comments or request a feedback revision in our article on viewing and changing feedback left for sellers.
Viewing a feedback profile
You can view a member’s feedback profile - including your own - by selecting the number in brackets next to their username. This number is their current feedback score.
On the feedback profile page, you'll see a member’s:
- Overall feedback score
- Percentage of positive ratings
- Recently received feedback
- Detailed seller ratings
- eBay registration date
You can also find a link to contact the member, and if the member is a seller, a link to view other items they are selling.
Tip
Once you reach a feedback score of 10, you’ll earn a yellow star which is displayed on your profile. As your feedback score increases, the star changes color, all the way to a silver shooting star for a score above 1,000,000.
Making your feedback comments public or private
We strongly encourage everyone to keep all their feedback information public. It helps you earn the trust of other eBay members, increasing the likelihood that they’ll trade with you.
If you want to sell on eBay, your feedback comment information must be visible to everyone.
If you choose to make your feedback comments private, you won’t be able to sell items on eBay and the feedback comments you’ve left and received will be hidden from other members. However, your overall number of positive, neutral, and negative feedback ratings will still be displayed.
Here’s how to change who can see your feedback comments:
- Go to your feedback profile.
- Scroll down to the All received Feedback section and set the toggle to either Visible to everyone or Hide comments.
