How To Build Your First 100 eBay Feedbacks Quickly
Having a good number of positive feedbacks can do wonders for your eBay business. Your feedbacks tell other buyers what it’s like to deal with you. And since people love to buy from someone whom other people are satisfied with, your feedbacks are essentially a testimonial.
So, try to build up some positive feedbacks before you sell anything expensive or be serious with a targeted niche.
How To Build 100 Great Feedbacks In The Shortest Amount Of Time?
After you’ve registered an account with eBay and Paypal, you can start to build feedbacks. You can begin by purchasing a few inexpensive items and get your first two feedbacks from sellers. That way you will not be starting from zero.
Then, locate some low-ticket priced item that you can sell on eBay. Go look at the garage, flea markets or wardrobe. Get hold of something cheap like $0.99 T-shirts, sunglasses, CDs, trading cards, etc.
List many of these low-ticket auctions with No Reserve or Buy-It-Now. Your aim is to sell as many items as you can in the shortest amount of time. This is why you need to select a low price point item.
It is easier to sell huge amount of small items regardless of the amount of feedbacks you have. More expensive products usually require more feedbacks to gain an eBay buyer’s trust.
Make sure you service these transactions to your best. Leave a good positive feedback when you ship off your parcels and send a Thank You e-mail.
Tell them that you have left them positive feedback for the transaction, and you’d appreciate if they can do the same for you once they receive the parcel and are happy with it. 90% buyers will gladly return a good feedback if there aren’t any major fault in the deal. Even if there are any problems, solve it quickly and keep your buyers in communication all the time.
Repeat the above process until you have over 100 positive feedback ratings on your eBay account. Be sure to provide fast shipping and courteous customer service to ensure only positive feedback. After you’ve crossed 100 feedbacks, you can easily start to sell higher ticket items because the buyers will see your high feedback ratings and trust you more.
It is just not worth to get even one terrible feedback review, especially when first starting out. A negative feedback may smear your eBay image and makes people think twice about buying from you. 
This is so clever!
This is a much more constructive and trusting method than simply buying 100 1c ebooks - the scammers favourite tactic.
By SELLING 100 items to get the feedback, not only builds your score to become substantially more trusting in the eyes of the buyer, but the knowledge gained by the seller in those 100 transactions is immense.
I recently guided somebody through their first 3 listings in a simple step-by-step process which they absorbed well. 5 weeks on, they have cracked the 100 transaction mark today, and their feedback is score is already over 50, and over 75 live auctions at the moment, all on 99p starts.
They only registered with eBay 6 weeks ago, and got their first computer 8 weeks ago, so if a true novice can achieve this so quickly, the more experienced users should have very little trouble with this goal of 100.
hey jenny, as an ebay seller you must read this http://jangbokjae.blogspot.com/2007/12/are-you-good-detective.html
Hi, Jenny, I found you through Tom’s blog over at PGA Auctions. I absolutely agree with this technique. No one should attempt to sell on eBay before establishing a reputation as a buyer. (No one should EVER buy from a seller with zero feeback either.)
I have almost 10,000 feedbacks at this point, but every time I get close to the next threshold for earning a new feedback star, I go on a buying rampage and purchase all kinds of items - office suppiles, cosmetics, small gift items - to quicken the pace towards getting the next star. So, even the veterans use this technique.
Thanks for the post!

100 feedbacks is a nice thing to have but you can easily start with 10. You still get your yellow star, and for many people that is enough to trust.
Getting 10 feedbacks is a 15-minute task on eBay UK, you buy 10 cheap things from high-volume sellers and leave feddback immediately. Big sellers usually automate their feedback and you get yours straight away.
I am not sure about the States, or other local eBay sites, as feedback rules differ depending on the country.
@ Suzanne: I like the ‘buying rampage’. Why I have never thought of that before…hmmm…
@ Maksim, oh yes, it’s the same with all paid eBay sites, you can post feedback automatically once someone posted one for you.
