What is a Feedback Score?
You can view a seller's feedback score on their listings beneath their username - it's displayed as a percentage. If a seller has a score of 99.5%, it means that 99.5% of the buyers who left feedback for that seller had a positive experience.
The positive feedback percentage is calculated based on the total number of positive and negative feedback ratings for transactions that ended in the last 12 months, excluding repeat feedback from the same member for purchases done within the same calendar week. This could mean that the number of ratings used for this calculation is different from the number shown in the recent ratings table on the left.
When you buy an item on eBay, please rate your experience with the seller.
It will help other buyers find the best and most reputable sellers on eBay. The ratings you give are factored into the seller's overall feedback and detailed seller rating scores.
