After explaining the significance of feedback, it goes into great detail about how to get "glowing feedback" -- not by soliciting it but by conducting yourself in a better-than-great manner, standing out from the crowd, overdelivering, and generally cultivating "glowing customers."
Outstanding customer service doesn't come naturally to a lot of people; they have to be taught, and this is what the first part of the chapter does.
Then it devotes about three pages to encouraging your "glowing customers" to leave that "glowing feedback" (I personally know three people who buy on eBay all the time, they say they've never had a bad experience, and they have NEVER left a single feedback for anyone!!).
Finally, there's quite an extensive section on dealing with negative feedback, since it's bound to happen eventually.

Throughout the entire course, they go into *great* detail about eBay's rules and the importance of following them to the letter. This chapter is no exception. It clearly explains "feedback extortion," "feedback solictation," and "feedback abuse."

One thing I've learned about IMC over the past eight years is that they don't lie.
I'm not saying they don't choke you with hype -- but they don't lie.
I have never known *anyone* to be held up as an expert, or a success story, if he isn't. They've worked hard to build a great reputation, and using an "expert" who hasn't "walked the walk," as they say, just wouldn't be worth it to get another product on the market, IMHO.

eBay is a HUGE amount of work!!

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
