Positive feedback sold for 1 euro
A simple bit of information and curiosity:
I see a lot of accounts that have listings selling positive feedback for 1 euro... but is that allowed?
Thanks!!!

·1 year agoGood afternoon
I came across these “listings” too....
I have a question too: don’t they violate eBay’s rules, at least in some way?
Why doesn’t it take action? Maybe because it closes one account and immediately 5 more appear...?

·1 year agoIn the past on eBay you could leave feedback right after the purchase even if the payment hadn’t been completed.
Today you still have to pay, so as marioelegio says there would be 35 cents in PayPal/credit card fees and the fees on 1 euro (the item’s minimum starting price), which are 5 cents.
It’s enough to sell something for 1 euro without writing that you’re selling the feedback to stay within the law.
Sooner or later these users will be removed from the platform, and even those who buy feedback will be punished; it’s just a matter of time.
You should also be wary of external services outside eBay that sell feedback, since all activity is monitored and sooner or later the accounts involved will face consequences.
The best thing to do would be to sell items you don’t need, maybe at a loss or for the shipping cost only.
