Seller ratings let you know how other buyers have found the experience of making a purchase from your seller. The higher the seller’s feedback score, the better the seller.
How feedback scores and seller ratings work
When you buy an item on 4Bike, you can rate your experience with the seller. The ratings you give are then added to the seller’s overall feedback and detailed seller rating scores.
A seller’s feedback score is displayed as a percentage beneath their username on their listings. If a seller has a score of 99.5%, it means that 99.5% of the buyers who left feedback for them had a positive experience.
You’ll also see a seller’s star rating as a number in brackets next to their username. This shows how many buyers have left feedback for a seller. The more buyers who have rated their experience positively with a seller, the more assured you can be of getting great service.
