When I first started on ebay I began at the point that every new ebayer starts from. From a zero feedback rating. Increasing that rating was a bit difficult being that not too many people wanted to bid on my items because I had no track record.In this article I will show you the best way to build your ebay feedback rating to a trustworthy and satisfying level.

STEP 1.

The first thing you will want to do as a brand new ebayer with a zero feedback is definitely not selling, yet. First you might scour ebay for an item or items you might be interested in buying. Your best bet would be small inexpensive items. I recommend doing this multiple times. I say inexpensive because unless you have a deep pocket book or are soley on ebay for buying things you will not want to spend a lot of money on every auction just to get your feedback up. Once your feedback has reached about 10 positive you will be ready for the next step.

STEP 2.

Next you are ready to list an ebay auction. You will follow the same pattern as when you bought things. List inexpensive things or things that you will not be expecting top dollar for. Remember the more feedback you have the more people will trust you. As your ebay feedback increases to about 25 positive or so you you will now want to start listing higher priced things.

STEP 3.

Now that you have bought and sold and your reputation has started to get off the ground, in a good way, you will want to list items that have more value. Be very descriptive in your auction and offer yourself to answer any questions a bidder might have. This makes a potential buyer more receptive to bid. If you have a product that is to be shipped, make sure to give detail to the cost you will be charging. Once your item is sold be sure to keep in close contact with the buyer to let them know when their item was sent. This ensures a trust in you and creates an opportunity for further business with the that ebay auction winner in the future.
