    My Id is Kellyww.

    I been selling off and on for a few years on Amazon, but I never get feed back, is there a trick ?

    From my experience, Amazon buyers aren’t big feedback leavers. I’d estimate I receive one or two feedback for roughly every 50 to 100 books sold.

    Probably because Amazon has never made a big thing about it like eBay has.

    I agree with Gary. Amazon feedback is SLOW in coming. Frequently when it is left it is around 30 days post sale when Amazon sends a reminder. If you do a ship confirmation e-mail put a little blurb in there about leaving feedback. No other tips besides fast shipping and packing well.
