eBay Selling

Some of the biggest changes of the eBay feedback system have gone into effect in the last few days. This latest round of changes has added repeat buyers’ feedback to the total feedback number. That was a jolt- I refreshed the screen to reflect a new sale and my feedback jumped by more than 300. I got a new star!

Anyway, the new system also changes the feedback percentages. The new percentages have been a little controversial. Instead of a calculation of your total positive feedbacks since the beginning of your eBay account, it now calculates the percentage in the past 12 months. I don’t really have a problem with it for now.

My percentage had been a steady 99.6 percent, despite the fact that I haven’t had a negative in almost two years. My percentage is now 100 percent. I think this may also help with the problems that a lot of new sellers have. They are more prone to make mistakes and get negatives. But, after a year of learning and selling well, those mistakes are forgiven in the feedback percentage.
