Question
There is feedback verification service which I see more and more people using lately called Walking Feedback. At first I couldn't see the point because your feedback is right there, so what do you need a certification service for?
Then over the weekend I saw one of these buttons on a website that was not an auction and then finally it clicked in my head what was going on. This persons website had credibility because the button verified all these other sales they had made in auctions so I knew I wouldn't be ripped off if I bought from them.
Then my brain said, this is a good idea, this will help me sell more stuff, especially in a bad market where you need an edge.
The process works like this, you sign up, its a one time payment which costs basically nothing, and you fill out the verification form, then it gets processed.
Once it's verified you are issued a linked WalkingFeedback.Com button that you can use on any auction site or your own website to tell people that you are a credible seller. Then if someone clicks on the button it opens up the certification page showing that you really do have all this good feedback and that its has been verified and certified to be true.
That means that if you have a positive feedback rating of 1000 at ebay and want to try selling at some other auction site, you don't have to go there and start with a feedback rating of zero. The linked button automatically tells everyone at the new site that you actually have a positive feedback rating of 1000 that has been humanly verified and certified.
This is truly a big deal because it totally breaks the choke hold that ebay or any other site has on your feedback. Normally I'm not a poster but I've already seen these buttons on auction items at ebay and QXL in Europe so I thought it was important enough to mention.

Answer
Can I see your walking feedback?
Answer
Man, this smells of very poorly written blatant self-promotional press release... The only game in town that matters is eBay. If you jump ship to another service like iOffer or SellYourItem, they will have a feedback importing feature. No need to register and pay for a third party service like this.
Answer
I was still on site so I thought I'd respond to this before I go.
First of all I'm not going to post my link because that -would- be self promotion and I don't want to get kicked off. If you want to see an example you can at the Walking Feedback website.
Second, I'm, not a professional copywriter so if I write poorly to help people out give me a break.
Third, You said their is no need to use a third party service. There is no NEED to use any service including ebay, people use services because it is more efficient than walking up to people out on the street and trying to sell products to them. People use services to save time and give themselves an edge. The service I mentioned is infinitely more flexible less expensive than the TWO that you PROMOTED.
Answer
But if you don't post your feedback here, how do we know we can trust you. After all, you only made 2 posts to date. How do we even know you sell on eBay or have a feedback anywhere.
Answer
When the very first post someone makes is promoting a 3rd party service, it naturally makes one wonder if the poster is financially involved in the company.

Answer
I was going to write a response to commentary until I noticed that he had over 4000 posts here. He's obviously one of those flakes who lives to antagonize people in forums, so I'm done.
Answer
If one has their own website, a button which links to their eBay feedback can be done themselves - with no "registration" and no "fee."
A simple HTML snippet will do.
