Independent Feedback Review
 
 
Overview
 
Independent Feedback Review allows members to ask an independent reviewer to evaluate a feedback comment left for an eBay Motors vehicle transaction, to determine if the feedback rating qualifies for withdrawal. The reviewer will use evidence provided by the buyer and seller in the transaction, the feedback comments left, and eBay's feedback review guidelines to make a determination.

Review Process

The process to have a comment reviewed by an independent feedback reviewer is outlined below:
  1. Choose a feedback review provider.
  2. Follow the instructions on the reviewer's website and pay the upfront fee.
  3. The feedback review provider will then contact the member who left the feedback comment, to give him/her a chance to respond.
  4. If the feedback review provider feels there is not enough information to make a decision, he or she can ask either party for additional information.
  5. When a determination has been made, an email will be sent to both the buyer and seller with the outcome. eBay will also be notified of the reviewer's determination.
  6. If the independent feedback reviewer recommends that feedback ratings be withdrawn, please allow two weeks for the changes to occur on your member profile.

Independent Feedback Review

Independent Feedback Review is a service that is currently only available in vehicle categories on the United States eBay Motors site (Cars & Trucks, Motorcycles, Powersports, Boats, and Other Vehicles).

Ratings will be withdrawn if the independent feedback review determines that the member who seeks a rating withdrawal has clearly and convincingly established one or more of the following:

  • The member leaving the feedback did not make a good faith effort to complete the transaction. (Failure to pay for or sell an item, in and of itself, is not sufficient to meet this guideline.)
  • The feedback was not submitted in a reasonable timeframe (30 days is usually an adequate period of time to allow for inspection or test drive).
  • There is clear and convincing evidence that the transaction-related information contained in the feedback comment is factually inaccurate, even if the inaccuracy was the result of a misunderstanding or honest mistake.
  • The member leaving the feedback did so because that member was seeking to receive more than what he/she was reasonably entitled to receive in the transaction.
