With Feedback 2.0, am I required to fill up the detailed seller ratings when I leave feedback for the seller?
Summary
In the LeaveFeedback call, the DetailedSellerRating container is optional - the buyer can choose to set the DetailedSellerRating or continue to leave feedback as they did. The change introduced in LeaveFeedback, is that the buyers now have an opportunity to leave detailed seller rating for the seller. Buyers can rate the seller on a scale of 1 to 5, for the following:
- Item Description
- Communication
- Shipping time
- Shipping & Handling Charges
with 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest rating.
As a seller, when you make a call to GetFeedback, you will see the DetailedSellerRating container with the rating count and rating score.
