• It is a violation to include the term 'feedback' or any reference to eBay feedback in the listing title. The only exception is when the term 'feedback' directly describes the item listed.

• It is a violation to offer to buy, sell or barter feedback in an email (ie Ask Seller a Question or Contact eBay Member) or in the item description.

Feedback is the foundation of trust on eBay. Purchasing, selling or trading feedback undermines the integrity of the feedback system and decreases trust within the eBay community. Your eBay reputation, as denoted by your feedback score, should be earned, not purchased.
