Amazon feedback vs eBay
 

I'm new to selling on Amazon, and from past experience I've honestly bought from a lot people with pretty horrible feedback compared to eBay percentage wise. I mean, if I buy from someone on eBay with 97% that's like a D grade in my opinion but Amazon most of the time I don't think twice about buying if it's 97%. What is a good bench mark for ratings vs eBay percentage?

On eBay, I come from the perspective of live or die by my rating. I think it is extremely influential in weather I drive sales or not. Anything below 99.5% in my opinion, unless your 10,000+ it can start to negatively affect sales. Even when being 10,000+ it can affect them because it's so prominent in every listing. But on Amazon, it's different I feel. Any thoughts?

Feedback like crypto - only matters to those who believe in it.

Ah greenhorn. I think you'll learn a lot of negative feedback comes from people who don't know how to use the product. Or they had a bad day and need an avenue to express themselves.

Passing judgement on a seller's 3% negative compared to their massive 97% positive is a bit filtered. You'll get sales all the same.

Its all the same deal

Get great feedback to keep customers that are feedback orientated shoppers to purchase your goods

Some don't really care etc

For amazon, you have to take care of your seller metrics/feedback much more than eBay otherwise the bots come breathing down your neck

Frankly nowadays I don't care about the feedback anymore.
The feedback system is so flawed it's not even funny.
Not to mention there are idiots who leave unfair feedbacks vs happy ppl who don't.

Even on eBay a 90% is fine to me. and on Amazon, most people don't leave personal feedbacks.
