When you've purchased something on eBay, it's always helpful to the seller when you leave positive feedback to let other users know that the seller is reliable, timely, and accurately describes their products. 

Likewise, it can also be a way to warn others of a fraudulent seller if they don't send the item you bought or you receive something broken, faulty, or completely different than what was described. 

That being said, you may want to change feedback you've left on eBay if you realize you've made an error in your comment or you've since had an issue (or resolved one) with the seller in question. 

While eBay doesn't allow you to change feedback once it's been left, you can leave a follow-up comment with additional information.

Here's how to do it.

How to change feedback on eBay by following up 

1. Log into your account on the eBay website using your username and password. 

2. Visit the eBay Feedback Forum directly. Alternatively, you can access this via the My eBay "Leave feedback" shortcut. 

3. On the right-hand side of the eBay Feedback Forum, click the "Follow up to feedback left" link.

Note that you can also change ratings from neutral or negative to positive if you ask the seller to send you a revision request. Once you receive the request, you only need to accept it and change the rating to your new preferred choice, then save the changes.
