Dealing Customer Feedbacks on Amazon or eBay – with sample templates

Responding customer feedback in your client’s online store whether on Amazon, eBay or any eCommerce platform is not an easy task especially if the issues are seriously technical. Like in brick and mortar customers, online customers also complain when they are not satisfied of the products, defective & counterfeit or if they received the wrong item. In that case, a customer support team or a Virtual Assistant will do the job of communicating to an angry customer to resolve the issue-whether re-process the order & shipment, give a refund and the hardest thing, is to beg the customer to remove their negative feedback in your client's store at Amazon.

Well, this post hopefully could give you the basic things in writing a response letter to the customer. As much as possible be polite, console the customers & give them assurance, provide consistent update ‘till the issue gets resolve, and encourage them for repeat shopping.
