Tips on how to recognise a good seller on eBay

  • The best way to be Abel to determine a good seller is my the feedback left by his customers or the people he's carried business with before. After every transaction both buyer and seller have the opportunity to right on how smooth the transaction was carried using the eBay eBay feedback system. All you have do is look at the feedbacks and see what most people have to say about the seller with that you'll be able to determine if he is a good seller or not. Mostly these feedback comments will praise fast shipping or the successful completion of the purchase. You can usually ignore these comments as they are either automatically placed (using an eBay option) or they are not carefully thought out. But if you look through the feedback comments you should see more specific feedbacks. These can be product reviews after a product has been tried, or they can be complains.
  • Be careful of new sellers or those who have changed their names, most of the time it's just a way for them to try and get rid of all the bad feedbacks that they had receive and are trying to cover up.
  • Look for Negative Feedbacks and be sure to read through them to see what the problems were.
  • Lastly make sure to ask the seller some questions, a reliable and good seller will respond to your questions quickly and completely. Whereas bad sellers will avoid trying to answer your question, take more time or even ignore them.
