1. A method including:
- transmitting, from a server over a network to a client machine, instructions to cause display of a single input interface on the client machine, the single input interface including a plurality of input mechanisms, the plurality of input mechanisms including a first input mechanism facilitating user input of first feedback information pertaining to a first user and a second input mechanism facilitating user input of second feedback information pertaining to a second user, each of the plurality of input mechanisms comprising a feedback input field and a skip indicator that is user-selectable to indicate that no feedback is provided, wherein the plurality of input mechanisms are respectively associated with a plurality of items, and wherein the plurality of items includes items offered for sale on the network-based facility and each of the plurality of items is respectively associated with one of a plurality of completed transactions on the network-based facility;
receiving feedback information, at the server over the network, the feedback information provided through the single input interface, the feedback information pertaining to the first user and the second user; and
storing, by the server in a feedback table of a networked database, the received feedback information.

Abstract
Systems and methods for harvesting comments regarding users on a network-based facility are described. The method involves presenting a single input interface via a communications network that includes input mechanisms. The input mechanisms include a first input mechanism facilitating user input of comment information that pertains to a first user and a second input mechanism facilitating user input of comment information that pertains to a second user. The method further involves receiving the comment information via the communications network. The comment information is provided through the single input interface and pertains to the first user and the second user.
