Why is it not possible to read the full feedback about a seller, only several words are available to be viewed.

If you had ever left feedback you would know that there is a limit to the amount of characters that can be used when leaving feedback, so yes, you'll only see a few words in a sellers feedback because of that maximum limit.

I have never seen it that way

How do you know how many words each buyer has left /if the buyer has made typos(and so words are missing) or if they went over the word limit and so words have been cut off?

Good point, if 'full' feedback is so important but the person has never bothered leaving any feedback at all themselves

Perhaps the seller has only dealt with buyers like your goodself.

Guys the limit is 5000 characters but this is not the amount available to be seen in the feedback. Only one line of text is visible which is roughly 80-90 characters that is the size of first line on this text.. This limit of visiblity makes genuine feed back a waste of time because nobody will be able to read the entire feedback. The end result is one cannot go by the feedback when deciding on a purchase which make ebay purchases problematic. One is better buying from Amazon.

You've never left feedback, so I don't know where you came by all this incorrect knowledge.

The only correct part is feedback is limited to only 80 characters

So how are you helping others make a decision if you don't leave feedback for a seller?

Go and buy from Amazon then. No one here cares if you never buy from here again. In fact, eBay won't care either. Seeya!

are you asking about feedback or product reviews ?

DO NOT use product review links on listings to decide whether a seller is worth buying from as those product reviews have nothing to do with sellers.
