setFeedbackScore()

The aggregate feedback score for a user. A user's feedback score is the net positive feedback minus the net negative feedback left for the user. Feedback scores are a quantitative expression of the desirability of dealing with a user as a buyer or a seller in transactions. Each transaction can result in one feedback entry for a given user (the buyer can leave feedback for the seller, and the seller can leave feedback for the buyer.). That one feedback can be positive, negative, or neutral. The aggregated feedback counts for a particular user represent that user's overall feedback score (referred to as a "feedback rating" on the eBay site). If the user has chosen to make their feedback private and that user is not the user identified in the request's authentication token, FeedbackScore is not returned and FeedbackPrivate is returned with a value of true.<br> <br> To be eligible to list on Express, a seller's feedback score needs to be 100 or higher. See "eBay Express" in the eBay Web Services guide. In GetSearchResultsExpress, only returned when ItemDetails is set to Fine.<br> <br> In GetSearchResults and GetCategoryListings, feedback information is only returned if IncludeFeedback = true in the request. <br> In GetMyeBayBuying and GetMyeBaySelling, feedback information (FeedbackScore and FeedbackRatingStar) is returned in BidList.ItemArray.Item.Seller. For GetMyeBayBuying, the feedback score of each seller with an item having received a bid from the buyer is returned. For GetMyeBaySelling, the feedback score of the seller is returned. <br> <br> GetMyeBayBuying and GetMyeBaySelling also return feedback information (FeedbackScore and FeedbackRatingStar) in BidList.ItemArray.Item.SellingStatus.HighBidder. GetMyeBayBuying returns feedback information on the high bidder of each item the buyer is bidding on. GetMyeBaySelling returns feedback information on the high bidder of each item the seller is selling. <br> <br> Since a bidder's user info is anonymous, the real feedback score will be returned only to that bidder, and to the seller of an item that the user is bidding on. For all other users, the value -99 is returned.

setUniquePositiveFeedbackCount()

Total count of positive Feedback entries received by the user, including weekly repeats. Contains the aggregate feedback score for a user. A member's feedback score is the net positive feedback minus the net negative feedback left for the member. Feedback scores are a quantitative expression of the desirability of dealing with that person as a Buyer or a Seller in auction transactions. Each auction transaction can result in one feedback entry for a given user (the buyer can leave feedback for the seller, and the seller can leave feedback for the buyer.). That one feedback can be positive, negative, or neutral. The aggregated feedback counts for a particular user represent that user's overall feedback score (referred to as a "feedback rating" on the eBay site). This rating is commonly expressed as the eBay Feedback score for the user.

setUserAnonymized()

Indicates whether or not the User container has been made anonymous.

For all other users, this tag is returned as true.

setUserID()

Unique eBay user ID for the user.<br> <br> In GetSearchResultsExpress, only returned when ItemDetails is set to Fine. <br><br> Since a bidder's user info is anonymous, this tag will contain the real ID value only for that bidder, and the seller of an item that the user is bidding on. For all other users, the real ID value will be replaced with the anonymous value, according to these rules: <br><br> When bidding on items listed on the US site: UserID is replaced with the value "a****b" where a and b are random characters from the UserID. For example, if the UserID = IBidALot, it might be displayed as, "I****A". <br> Note that in this format, the anonymous bidder ID stays the same for every auction. <br><br> (GetMyeBayBuying only) when bidding on items listed on the US site: UserID is replaced with the value "a****b" where a and b are random characters from the UserID. <br><br> When bidding on items listed on the the UK and AU sites: UserID is replaced with the value "Bidder X" where X is a number indicating the order of that user's first bid. For example, if the user was the third bidder, UserID = Bidder 3. <br> Note that in this format, the anonymous bidder ID stays the same for a given auction, but is different for different auctions. For example, a bidder who is the third and then the seventh bidder in an auction will be listed for both bids as "Bidder 3". However, if that same bidder is the first bidder on a different auction, the bidder will be listed for that auction as "Bidder 1", not "Bidder 3". <br><br> (GetMyeBayBuying only) when bidding on items listed on the UK and AU sites: UserID is replaced with the string "High Bidder". <br><br> (GetSearchResults only)When IncludeFeedback is set to true in GetSearchResults request, the call response returns the seller's User ID. Please note seller's UserID is not anonymized.
