Does anyone know where to find a direct link to ask buyers to leave feedback? I have made a couple of sales and want to ask the buyer to leave feedback, but I need a link to make it as easy as possible for the customer.
A link for a review of the product or a review as a seller, either works.

Feedback is optional.
Pushing for it may have negative results.

It's already easy for a buyer to leave feedback. When a buyer looks at his Purchase History, one of the options in the drop-down menu is "Leave Feedback". All he has to do is click on it. How much easier could it be?
As others have cautioned you, it's not a good idea to request FB from a buyer. No matter how sweetly you word your request or suggestion, there will be some buyers who will consider it nagging and react accordingly. You don't really want that on your record, especially when just getting started.

@kubikausa ebay automatically sends reminders to buyers to leave feedback. If you 'remind' people in addition to the ebay reminders, it gets irritating. The owner here asked why I only had 18 feedbacks on 50 sales. I pulled up the company buying record and showed him that they rarely, if ever, leave feedback as a buyer.
I really wish they'd do away with the whole feedback process. Sellers can only leave positive feedback, no matter how badly the buyer behaved. I've seen tons of posts here from experienced ebayers saying that feedback doesn't matter. But it does matter for new sellers who will never be able to increase their selling limits if they don't get feedback as a seller. Once you're established, sure, it is what it is. If they leave it great, if not, oh well. ebay could change it so that a seller has to have X positive Feedbacks, OR X number of successful transactions with no returns for Item not as described or Item not Received. Best of Luck to you selling here.🙂

E-Bay, at set intervals, reminds a Buyer to leave feedback for an order.
When you leave FB for one order, it immediately asks if you wish to do more.
I dislike FB requests. Sometimes leaving none is actually a gift to a Seller.
Be patient. It will occur naturally over time.
Good luck, be safe.
