Launched earlier this year, eBuyer-Feedback is a free service, that allows eBay sellers to leave honest (positive, neutral, or negative) feedback for each of their buyers. To ensure that only sellers who have actually participated in a transaction with the buyer can leave feedback, every feedback comment is checked with eBay's public records. To each comment left about them on the site, the system also allows buyers to leave a public response.
eBay announced, on January 29th, that sellers would no longer be able to leave negative or neutral feedback for their buyers. 'At the seller's option', only positive feedback would be allowed. With no way to defend themselves or warn other sellers, this new policy will leave sellers vulnerable to new scams, extortion and unpaid items. Thus, eBuyer-Feedback.com was created by a longtime PowerSeller.
eBuyer-Feedback seeks to become the new standard for leaving buyer feedback on eBay. Currently running an open beta on its feedback system, eBuyer-Feedback launched on February 18th. This system is one that every eBay user will find familiar.The Detailed Buyer Ratings also known as DBRs™ is another added feature to eBuyer Feedback's system. This allows the seller to rate the buyer on how quickly payment was sent, communication and reading of the details/terms of the auction. The seller can also rate the buyer on how they allowed the seller to handle the situation if there were any problems with the transaction.
eBuyer-Feedback, to encourage sellers to leave comments, plans to host a contest on the site, from May 19 - June 18. A grand prize of $250 will be awarded to the seller that leaves the most positive comments on the site (randomly selected in case of a tie), $150 to a randomly selected seller who has left at least one positive feedback comment on the site, and $50 to the buyer that has received the most positive feedback on the site.
