Sample Bid Alert Email

Here we show a sample Bid Alert that was generated during our testing phase.  This was generated due to a best offer being submitted to one of our registered sellers.

We are still a long ways from recouping our initial investment.  Donations are always appreciated.  Another way to financially support us is to use our subscription inventory management product Quantity Manager.

So to everyone who said eBay would shut us down, that we would be sued out of existance, that posted in the eBay forums calling us irrelevant, that we’ve already ceased to exist, that no one uses our site, that 99.9% of eBay users aren’t and never will be aware of us, that people clicking on our sponsored ads are chumps, that you’d report our website to your local government … we are here to stay.  Thanks to everyone who has made that possible.

The following changes are now effective immediately:

1. Sellers must now register with us before leaving feedback.
2. Sellers must link their accounts through the eBay API.
3. Sellers must use our easy to use, bulk feedback interface when leaving feedback.

If you originally linked your account by sending ebuyerlink a message through eBay you must upgrade your account on the link account page.  If you don’t then you will only be able to follow up or reply to feedback left about you.

Fortunately these changes only affect a “small percentage” of our users.  If you are unsure if this affects you visit the link account page.  If you see the the word “Upgrade” then an upgrade will be necessary.

If your account has been approved you’ll see a new link in your link account page. You’ll need to log in and accept the terms for each account. You can then begin leaving feedback at the new bulk feedback page.

If you are not currently approved and want this feature for your account contact us and we’ll review your eBay account activity.

Don’t forget our feedback contest ends in almost two weeks. Each unique positive feedback comment left gives you one chance to win $150 and the seller leaving the most positive feedback comments will receive $250.

To promote usage of this site we are currently hosting a contest through June 18th where you can win one of three prizes. See http://www.eBuyer-Feedback.com/contest.shtml for details.

By the way, if you check out http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/Feedback-abuse-withdrawal.html
eBay now considers “Negative statements that conflict with a positive rating” feedback abuse on their site.

Detailed Buyer Ratings - DBR™

It is a year overdue, but eBuyer Feedback will soon allow you to leave anonymous detailed ratings for your buyers. Sellers will be able to rate their buyers on a scale of 1 to 5 in four categories. Unless we receive feedback stating otherwise those categories will be Reading ability, Communication, Payment time, and Conflict resolution. Please contact us if you think you have better category choices.

Leave Us Feedback

Now that the eBuyer Feedback system is running you can also use it to rate us. In the leave feedback form simply use item# 999999999999 and buyer id ebuyerfb. Feedback will be subject to the same terms as all other feedback left on this site. However the feedback left for us will not be removed at the end of the beta period. You only get to make one comment per eBay ID so make it count.

Support Us

Now that we finally have something to show for all our efforts we will now begin to accept donations. If you’d like to donate or support us in some other way please visit the support us page.

Since the feedback system hasn’t launched yet we will temporarily give everyone equal exposure.

Check back over the next few days when I add the ability to have your auctions advertised for free on this site.

Less than 24 hours after launching we’ve already had almost 1000 hits, visitors from 47 of the 50 US states, many visitors from Europe and Australia, and 10 registered members. Over the next several weeks I’ll be adding more important features such as eBay account linking.
