Abstract

Reputation is vital for sellers to survive and grow at online auction marketplaces. Positive feedback ratings from buyers help sellers build such a reputation. In this study, we explore the factors that affect feedback ratings from buyers at online auction marketplaces. We try to identify the factors related to three types of feedback (+, 0, -) posted by buyers. We also study the effects of sellers' first move to post their feedback to buyers on the counter-feedback from buyers. We find that characteristics of sellers and products, selling strategies, auction outcomes, and the first mover strategy are significantly associated with feedback posted from buyers. More specifically, sellers' first move to post their positive feedback to buyers helps them receive positive counter-feedback from buyers. Our study contributes to the literature by exploring the determinants of online feedback posted from buyers and providing empirical evidence on the effects of sellers' first mover strategy.
