Finishing Things Up and Leaving Feedback

As you ship the sold item, there are two more things you need to do:

• First, send an email to the buyer, letting him or her know that the item is on its way. (You should note in your message when and by which method the item was shippedand if you have a tracking or confirmation number, pass it along.)

• Second, you need to leave feedback about the buyer. Whether it was a good transaction or a bad transaction, you need to let your fellow eBay members know how things turned out.

To leave feedback for the buyer, follow these instructions:

1.	Go to the listing page for the item you just sold and click the Leave Feedback link.
2.	When the Leave Feedback page appears, indicate whether you're leaving Positive, Negative, or Neutral feedback, and then enter your comments (80 characters, maximum) in the Comment box.
3.	Make sure you really want to leave the comments you've written, and then click the Leave Feedback button. Your feedback will be registered and added into the buyer's other feedback comments.

Reread Chapter 3, "Understanding and Using Feedback," for more information about the type of feedback to leave in different situations.
