Before leaving less than 5 Stars on eBay's newest feedback rating for sellers. You as a buyer should consider the communication that the seller/buyer made with you. Most auctions you can bid on items within the 7 day period to save you money on combined shipping. If you are buying mulitple items and the seller is waiting for your payment on all your items, and your last item is not over until the 7th day, perhaps your items were shipped later than usual because the seller was waiting for payment to be made.

Buyers do not have the 5 Star Rating, it is just for the Sellers. If you are new to eBay be sure you know the difference on the 5 Star Rating System.

Items Described - If the description is in the auction is as described when you purchased your item.

Communication - How well the seller communicates with you via eBay message and/or via email address (remember most people work)

Shipping Time - It should state somewhere in the auction when they will ship your item out. It is usually in the Term/Policy area at the bottom of the auction, if you don't know email and ask.

Shipping & Handling Charges - These are Additional item charges, Combine shipping charges, Hidden fee charges that the seller adds to there auctions and usually stated.

I charge actual shipping weight on First Class items (Bead Supplies) by zip code, all additional items ship for free. I do not have additional item charge, combine shipping charge, or hidden fees in my auction, etc., On my jewelry auctions I charge Priority shipping.

If you are new to eBay be sure to leave a 5 Star rating for your seller. If you are happy with your seller, and how they conduct business "Rate" them by putting your cursor over the star, click to highlight the star orange. Click what you think they deserve, 1st Star, 2nd Star or all 5 Stars, this will tell other sellers/buyer how well they conduct business.
