eBay sends a FeedbackLeft notification to third parties subscribed on the user's behalf whenever initial feedback comments are left by that user and when updated follow-up comments are left for items in dispute. The typical flow of events is:

  1. A third party subscribes to the FeedbackLeft notification on behalf of a user.
  2. The user leaves initial feedback comments or updated follow-up comments for items in dispute.
  3. eBay sends the FeedbackLeft notification to the third party, indicating that the user left new feedback.

eBay also sends FeedbackLeft notifications to the third party for all feedback items the user leaves, either through the eBay sites or programmatically from an API or SDK.
