What is feedback?
Feedback is the comments and ratings left by other customers who have bought from a particular seller. Sellers develop a feedback score depending on the amount of comments are listed. It is important that you leave honest feedback in this section as
it helps both buyers and sellers. If things did not go as well as you hoped, consider contacting the seller directly before leaving negative feedback, as it may be that the seller can put things right for you.
Manage Feedback
At kalahari.com Marketplace, we invite buyers to leave feedback about the performance of a seller and seller feedback is an important element in the buyer purchasing decision.
Here are a few reasons why feedback is important for the buyer and seller:
The buyer: Buyer feedback rewards and recognizes sellers who communicate well and dispatch quickly. Buyers are more likely to purchase products from sellers with higher ratings.
If a seller is flexible, fair, and professional, it will be reflected in your feedback.
The seller: A summary of feedback from buyers accompanies the seller nickname (display name) whenever they list an item at kalahari.com. This includes the average of their 1-to-5-star
ratings and your percentage of positive feedback ratings in the past 12 months. Any customer can view your lifetime feedback and comments from buyers on your Seller Profile page.
How does the buyer leave feedback?
On kalahari.com on the 'my orders' page, the buyer will have the opportunity to rate the seller in the following areas: Delivery time, product condition & customer service. The buyer will rate the seller in each area using a 5-star rating system i.e.
- Positive feedback: 5 or 4 stars
- Neutral feedback: 3 stars
- Negative Feedback: 2 or 1 stars
