Every eBay user has a Feedback Profile made up of comments from other eBay users - an official "reputation."
Next to any eBay member's User ID, there is a Feedback Rating number in parentheses ( ). For example: Skippy (125) means that this member's User ID is Skippy and he/she has received 125 positive Feedback ratings from other eBay members.
The Feedback Rating system is easy. For each transaction, buyers and sellers can choose to rate each other by leaving Feedback. Feedback from buyers can consist of a positive, negative or neutral rating, and a short comment. Feedback from sellers can consist of a positive rating and a short comment. These ratings are used to determine Feedback Scores. With some exceptions, outlined below, Feedback works like this:
- A positive rating increases the Feedback Score by one point
- A neutral rating leaves the Feedback Score the same
- A negative rating decreases the Feedback Score by one point
- A star icon for 10 or more comments
 Click the star to see what each star color means.

In general, there are two instances:
- If you're a potential buyer, you should check your seller's Feedback Profile. If you're a seller, do the same for your buyer. The Feedback Profile can answer many questions about how a person does business.
- If you're a winning bidder in an eBay transaction, you can leave the seller a positive, neutral, or negative, rating and a comment depending on your experience.
If you’re a seller in an eBay transaction, you can leave the buyer a positive rating and a comment.
