eBay will introduce a "Seller Information Box" on the description page of items for sale on its site to make it easier for potential bidders to review a seller's feedback. The Feedback System itself is not changing, and the new box is expected to appear in auctions in February.

The new Seller Information Box will provide the seller's User ID; feedback rating; the percentage of unique positive feedback points; the seller's date of registration with eBay; and their country of residence. A new link entitled "Safe Trading Tips" will be included in the box, along with links to "View seller's other items" and "Ask seller a question."

The information in the new box is currently available to all eBay buyers on different pages, but will be provided in a single location under the new display format.

eBay said it believes the new box will "make this important information even easier to find, and empower members to make the best decision about their potential trading partners."
