Use this “standalone” Widget to Leverage eBay Feedback
The eBay Reviews Widget is all about the power of social recognition through using the excellent feedback you receive for your business every day and putting them back on your listings automatically.
Before we go any further let’s look at a real-world example of this widget being used.
To the left there is a screenshot of the eBay Reviews Widget from a listing live on eBay, click on it for a larger version.
Comments like these:
Are lost amongst the rest of the feedback received.
eBay Reviews Widget puts your feedback comments back into your eBay listings dynamically.
Potential new customers can see what other customers have actually said about the item they’re looking at and it could be doing the same for your business too.
“We all know just how bad it feels to receive negative feedback. Well now there’s a way to show buyers the opposite. Specific to the item they are viewing and massively confidence boosting. Once again Matt to the rescue – and updated automatically”
And the totally neat thing about this widget, it knows… .
It knows when you have received feedback for a listing and then updates it automatically. So every time you receive a feedback comment on eBay, it’s not lost in the numbers, it’s being used to sell more products.
With new listings on eBay there are no sales just yet, so no comments about the product listed to show, however we thought of that too, while we can’t show any product reviews for it we can show your latest positive feedback comments instead and use the widget to reassure customers that you’re trustworthy & provide an excellent service.
We bet you’d like to see that in action too and a screenshot of this is happening is to the right:
Four Unique Ways to Show Off Your Feedback In Your eBay Listings
There are numerous layouts to choose from.
The highly configurable one at the bottom, is the most configurable of them all!
This is the original version of the Reviews Widget.
Designed to look just like your eBay feedback page, comments are formatted cleanly and in a format buyers will recognise instantly.
The second layout to be added, this adds in the eBay “My World” image, so that each comment that is left, has a avatar next to it which helps humanise the comments being shown.
Just added, this takes the idea of the “tag cloud” from WordPress and shows the comments received in an easy to read “cloud” format.
You’re also able to easily change the colours of the comment text and buyer names using a colour scroll wheel on the settings page.
Also just added, this layout is ideal for users wanting more control, but lack HTML & CSS experience.
You’re able to change the text labels above the widget and all the colours used, again using simple to use image scroll wheels making it a cinch to change everything.
