Does anybody know what statistical model ebay uses to determine "most relevant" feedback?

Not sure exactly when they started doing this though I believe it to be within the past two years that when you click on a seller's feedback rating to see the feedback comments, there is a default sort option that automatically goes to "most relevant...

In considering how I might strategize for the January change to promotions, I thought it would be a good idea to assess how much other factors have been useful to me. As for sales types, I do occasional auctions but the vast majority of my listings a...

I’ve been both a buyer and seller on eBay for over 20 years now. Truthfully, I’m much more of a buyer than a seller. I don’t have a storefront, I’m not a Top Seller, and my feedback rating sits around 168 with 5 stars. Selling has always been a pleas...

eBay says holding sellers payments for WEEKS IS to protect buyers.sure that’s why…wouldn’t be the millions in interest on all that cash at all. Really want to protect buyers & SELLERS (for a fresh change)…How about making all these India & China plat...

Negative feedbacks

I have noticed lately that buyers can leave a negative feedback for whatever reason they want even it's obviously unreasonable. You reach out to eBay and they won't do anything.Also before, if an item is returned and refunded, buyer can not leave a n...

How does someone sell something for $3.50 when you know the item can't be shipped for less than $4?

I recently changed my method of payment for my selling fess from bank account to a credit card (so I can earn points). Even though the site shows the correct method of payment is set for selling costs, ebay keeps using my old method of payment for se...

Ebay National Advertising

I have seen a few ads lately with ebay advertising for the holidays, however, the ads I did see were about how ebay is the place to shop for those hard-to-find, basically used items. Example, the most recent one I saw was about a women finding the ex...
