See the Field Index to learn which calls use FeedbackDetailsURL.

FeedbackPrivate ( boolean ) [0..1]
This boolean value indicates whether or not the eBay user has chosen to make their Feedback Profile private in My eBay. A private Feedback Profile only means that individual Feedback comments are hidden, but other Feedback statistics will still be displayed, including the total Feedback score and the Positive Feedback Percentage.

Sellers on eBay marketplaces do not have the option of making their Feedback Profile private, and they will be blocked from listing if they try to list items with a private Feedback Profile.

This enumeration value indicates the eBay user's Feedback Rating Star. A different colored star is associated with each Feedback Score range. For more details on the Feedback Score ranges (and colored stars associated with each range), see FeedbackRatingStarCodeType.

FeedbackScore ( int ) [0..1]
The aggregate Feedback score of an eBay user. A user's Feedback score is determined by the total number of Positive Feedback ratings minus the total number of Negative Feedback ratings the user has received. Any Neutral Feedback ratings do not affect the Feedback Score.

A user's Feedback Score is a quantitative expression of the desirability of dealing with that user as a buyer or a seller. A buyer can leave Positive, Neutral, or Negative Feedback for the seller, but a seller can only leave Positive Feedback for the buyer.
See the Field Index to learn which calls use FeedbackScore.
