eBay has made changes to its Feedback Policy to deter users from buying or trading feedback from other members. eBay also added a new policy to prohibit sellers from including in their listings any terms and conditions that restrict or limit the ability of a member to leave feedback.
eBay's Feedback Solicitation Policy bans the selling, buying or trading of feedback. The new change forbids users from including the word ?feedback? in a listing title unless it specifically describes the item. The feedback system is eBay's method for establishing a user's reputation. Members rate their trading partners with a Positive, Negative or Neutral feedback.
Over the years, eBay's feedback system has been a hotbed of controversy, from feedback padding to extortion. Some users refuse to leave negative feedback in fear that their trading partner will retaliate by giving them a negative in return.
Last December, AuctionBytes conducted a reader survey to find out how serious these problems were. According to the survey, 39% of respondents felt that feedback retaliation was a very big problem on eBay. Nineteen percent of respondents had received retaliatory feedback within the previous 6 months, and 16% had been a victim of feedback extortion within the previous 6 months.
eBay has made some improvements to the Feedback System since it was first introduced. eBay now requires feedback be tied to a specific transaction, and it adds "buyer" and "seller" designations next to individual feedbacks. eBay also improved the display box this year, automatically displaying the percentage of positive feedback a member has (i.e, 98%). But there's no way to see the value of individual transactions at a glance, and older auctions are removed from eBay altogether.
eBay's Feedback Solicitation Policy is designed to prevent someone from "buying" another member's reputation. In 2001, the New York Times reported that a coin dealer had purchased another member's feedback points and was later suspended from eBay for suspicion of defrauding bidders of hundreds of thousands of dollars. |

Well you could just get your friends to bid and win but this is called shill bidding. Why don't you trade normally and get your feedback properly. When I buy I look at more than feedback, if a person has only bought penny books or small items I am suspicious straight away |

Everyone starts at 0 feedback.
Its up to you to build it up, not arrange to get it built up.
And yea, it is cheating and not fair on other e-bay members who have worked at getting a good rating!! |

See that is the problem with people like you, that eBay encounters numerous problems with fraud and dishonest sellers.
You know in the beginning you could really trust the system but nowadays it is really hard.
I wish there was a way for more severe punishments.
Anyhow, good luck with your quest but have in mind that some of the buyers are not that stupid |

You can't do that!!! Just sell and buy to get your feedback scores like the rest of us have had to. What will your ebay account be called? Just so I can make sure I swerve buying anything off you.............. |

Do you honestly think that EBayers are so stupid as to fall for something as crass and against the rules and spirit of EBay as this?
Q&A would eat you alive |

You will get thrown off eBay if you do.
Best way to 'buy' feedBack legally is actually to buy 10 products from other sellers.
Why not buy 10 cheap things and pay up quickly through PayPal. They will then give you good feedback. |

.you can make "other accounts" and buy and sell stuff to yourself but if they find out they will kick you out.

there are many items on ebay that sell for 1 pence (mainly ebooks)
do a search for ebooks and put it into order of lowest price first
but a few 1 pence ebooks and collect feedback that way |
