eBay - Easiest Way To Get Feedback?

What should I buy to get feedback? I don't *need* anything, I would just like some more feedback - any suggestions?

  • Erm? A bit of a strange question?
    If you have any animals, pets food maybe? Or pet accessories?
    Clothes?
    Toilet rolls?
    DVD's?
    Food? - tins of beans etc

    Well you could do what many others do and buy ebooks. Does tend to make you look a bit dodgy though if you are merely upping your feedback to look good as a seller later on.

    Is there a reason you want more feedback? If it is so you can sell stuff and people will trust you you are far better off to start with a few low value items that people might be willing to take the risk on a newbie for. You can build a healthy feedback score for selling then and not just buying. People can see if your feedback is for buying or selling too so if you just have buying feedback and then start selling, it still might not be beneficial to your selling career. Good luck

    Reams of positives from ebooks is the sure sign of a crook.

    I want to start selling some stuff on eBay (and I have some high-ish value items to sell) and i need 10 feedback for a buy-it-now - I just want it quick, lol.

    Any links to a cheap eBook?

    search for ebook on ebay maybe?:confused:

  • you have to buy as many cheap items as possible eg 1p items with no postage, thats the only way to do it. but if anyone checks your feedback it will look dodgy.
