Offering to sell feedback, buy feedback, or trade feedback undeservedly is strictly against eBay's feedback policies. Such activity is called feedback solicitation.
Including the term "feedback" or any reference to eBay feedback in the listing title is considered feedback solicitation and the item will be removed. The only exception is if the term "feedback" is directly describing the item listed.
Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:
Listing or Want It Now post cancellation
Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
Limits placed on account privileges
Loss of PowerSeller status
Starting April 18th, 2008, listings that contain content that can be digitally downloaded or transferred may no longer be listed. All listings for digital items after that date will be considered a policy violation.
It is a violation to include in the title of a very inexpensive listing a phrase such as “Build Your FB score quickly”
It is a violation to offer to buy, sell or barter feedback in an email (i.e. Ask Seller a Question or Contact eBay Member) or in the item description.
It is a violation to send an email to a member offering to pay them for their user name.
It is not a violation to include in the title the term “feedback” when selling a book titled “Reduce Feedback in Amps.”
It is not a violation to exchange feedback on low priced items when genuinely trading that item (e.g. post cards, trading cards).
Help us make Feedback and detailed seller ratings as fair and honest as possible. If you see a violation of our policy, report it to us. Be sure to provide the member's user ID, the item number (if applicable), and a brief summary of the situation. Here's where you can file a report:

members who are artificially increasing their own Feedback score.
Report members who are trying to damage your (or another member's) Feedback score or detailed seller ratings.
Note: Posts made in eBay’s Want It Now area must also comply with this policy. Want It Now posts that violate this policy may be removed. Repeated violations may result in suspension. You can report a Want It Now violation of this policy from the Want It Now Policies page.
Why does eBay have this policy?
Feedback is the foundation of trust on eBay. Purchasing, selling or trading feedback undermines the integrity of the feedback system and decreases trust within the eBay marketplace. Just like in the world outside eBay, reputations are earned. Your eBay reputation, as denoted by your feedback score, should also be earned, not purchased.
