This will be very welcomed by sellers.
Automated Feedback
09-08-2025 12:44 PM
Just a stray observation: When I tick the 'show automated feedback' box, the only thing that changes beyond including the auto-feedback is line under "All received feedback" where the "7,184 Feedback received (viewing 1-25)" changes to "7,187 Feedback received (viewing 1-25)" - reflecting the 3 auto-FB I've received. All other totals stay the same.

I checked and mine does too. -Also if you refine it to just show 'Received as a seller' that one goes up and down with the checkmark box too.
But here is something I don't understand. I thought the big number by our usernames (in my case 1790) was the total number of feedbacks we're received in our accounts' lifetimes. I've been saying that forever and nobody has corrected me. But I guess I have never noticed these numbers that you're talking about, because look -none of them correlate with my 1790, not by a mile. And I don't sell (or buy) multiple quantity orders very often at all, certainly not enough to make a "hundreds" number difference. EDIT: Your numbers don't correlate either. So what the heck DOES than number quantify??

That's REALLY odd. Are you seeing any pattern in how often, or under what circumstances it changes, like have you tried refreshing the page, logging out/in, etc.?

The flip-flopping numbers appear to be random. I have not tried clearing the cache and cookies, refreshing the page, or logging out/in. I can go to my feedback page and see 8299 (which I think is the correct number). Then navigate away from that page to another Hub page to do tasks. The next time I come back to my feedback page, the number might be 8299, or it might be 8263. The only consistency I see is that the number is always 8299 or 8263

According to eBay:
"You can view a member’s feedback profile - including your own - by selecting the number in brackets next to their username. This number is their current feedback score."
They don't define what "feedback score" is. In other places, they use that term interchangeably with your feedback percentage, which obviously is not what that number is (like in this article: https://www.ebay.com/help/buying/resolving-issues-sellers/seller-ratings?id=4023#section1)
And it can't just be the positive minus the negative, or something like that, because you clearly don't have hundreds of negatives pulling down your total from the 2,136 total.
So honestly I'm not sure.

Multiple quantity orders make a big difference in my feedback count (the one by my user name), but you say you don't have many of those, so something does not seem right.
My feedback score is 8299. I get a lot of multiple quantity orders, so my numbers in the screenshots below make sense to me.

Are you serious??? So nobody knows what that number actually means? Do you recall seeing discussions about it here in the past? (I don't, but then my 'recall' is inconsistent at best, just ask @wastingtime101 ) . 🤣

The quantity shown 'received as a seller' could easily be from a buyer that purchased 5 things, gave 5 feedbacks, but it only counts as 1; or someone that bought 1 item on Monday and 1 item on Friday and left feedbacks for both, but still only counts as 1.
That's why your 1790 will never be equal to the 'received as buyer' plus 'received as seller'.

🤣 In that paragraph you quoted I literally said ... never mind I'm not writing it again.

I see what you said; but you said 'mostly' so? Also may not be 'multiples of items sold' but could it be a customer that buys more than once in a 7 day period that you didn't notice??
(by the way- copy/paste works wonders; no 're-writing' required)

Can you copy/paste where I said "mostly"?

No, I'm talking about under each buyer's feedback comment, it says 'private listing' rather than the item's listing title. So when you look at your auto feedbacks you can't tell which items they were for.

Thank you for your reply.

Hey, we just got a real old fashion type feedback from some human. I didn't know real people were allowed to do that anymore ... joke
We also noticed that we can't leave a fantastically worded glowing reply for the auto fb, praising the all seeing, all knowing auto feedback program. [joke]
