Toolbox Announce Ebay Milestone of 1000 Feedback

April 14, 2011

What started as an extra project for Toolbox has been a roaring success as in a very short time they have reached the magic 1000 feedback barrier on Ebay.

Toolbox, the fastest growing online retailer of tools in the UK, has recently announced that its eBay store has reached a feedback score of 1000.

The milestone is the most recent achievement of a business that has constantly been growing and expanding its stock despite recent economic pessimism. Toolbox has become a strong force in online retail where its low online only prices have put it ahead of the competition. In April 2008 Toolbox opened a new eBay store to sell to a new audience. eBay is an online retail giant that allows users to list and buy products. As a result all of eBay's stock is user generated. To allow customers to determine the reliability of a seller eBay has a comprehensive feedback system that allows users to post feedback whenever they buy from a seller. Problems with payment, shipping, products and communication are all displayed prominently for all users to view meaning that visitors are offered a choice of sellers. Toolbox has been extremely successful on eBay and has just reached a feedback score of 1000. The website owes its achievement to its customer service and strong product range.

Quickly looking at Toolbox's eBay profile page shows that more than 99% of customers gave the company positive feedback. Scott Morris, E-commerce Manager of Toolbox, explained this further: "Positive feedback is the key to eBay success, if you are getting negative reviews from customers then everyone can see that and people who might have been tempted to buy something from you will panic and shop elsewhere. On privately owned websites anyone can write whatever they want about their fantastic service and happy customers. It's only with independent sites like eBay that you can see how customers really feel. You can't delete feedback or make it go away so it's a great way of exposing standards, high or low. As you would expect, Toolbox is rated very highly on eBay. If anyone is unsure about buying from our website they should take a look at some of our feedback on eBay."

Furthermore, Toolbox has been recognised as an eBay power seller meaning that it has met conditions set out by eBay regarding sales, customer feedback and reviews. Gaining power seller status is an important step forward for the young website and will help to establish it as a quality eBay store.

Anthony Langston, Website Administrator of Toolbox, revealed: "Because of the nature of eBay, customers are very discerning. If they see anything they don't like it only takes them a couple of clicks to move to someone else selling the same thing. To be able to compete we have to provide excellent service and low prices. Fortunately, we didn't have to change anything from the usual service and prices we provide on our own website."

Toolbox is based in Evesham, Worcestershire and now employs 50 staff within their 2,000 sqm, purpose built warehouse and offices. The sister company Plumbworld had a turnover in 2008 in excess of £18 Million. Plumbworld was established in 1999 and was sold to The Grafton Group Plc in December 2006.
