Ebay Feedback Transfer is a growing trend.
Many new and competing auctions sites to eBay offer to import your eBay feedback so you don't have to start afresh when you either sell or buy on these alternative sites.
For both sellers and buyers, this is overall a good development as it helps establish credibility.
Obviously you'd only want to transfer your feedback if it was mostly positive, in the event it contains some negative comments you'd rather others didn't see then it would be best to start rebuilding it.
Feedback instantly allows other parties, who you may do business with to see if your trustworthy, a prompt payer, and gives detailed information on the type of transactions your involved with.
This is why it's so important to maintain your feedback and keep it positive.
So, on the whole feedback transfer is a good idea and will save you weeks or months of establishing credibility on every site you trade on.
However, there is one main worrying issue about eBay feedback transfer.
When you register with eBay you agree to the eBay user agreement.
Part of this agreement, which is a legally binding document mentions feedback.
"While using the Site, you will not take any action that may undermine the feedback or ratings systems (such as displaying feedback information on, or exporting feedback information to, non-eBay sites, or using it for purposes unrelated to eBay or transfer your eBay account (including feedback) and User ID to another party without our express consent".
So, it seems if you do transfer your feedback to another site you will be breaking the user agreement.
This means that eBay has the option of terminating your account if they should ever enforce this agreement.
The decisions yours, whether to transfer your feedback or not.
Just be aware of the possible consequences.
