By now you are well aware of Ebay's "NEW STAR FEEDBACK RATINGS" for sellers. I believe this is a one way street!! If you sell on Ebay you have to go through a "test" to see if you make the grade with your buyers, being rated with stars on Item as described, Communication, Shipping time and Shipping and handling charges.

I really don't mind the new star system because I have always been honest in my listings, contact my buyers by name, ship the next day and I have to charge shipping that factors in my supplies, time, and gas. Feel free to contact my buyers and they will tell you what I have said is the truth!! As far as shipping time is concerned if I ship the next day (and I usually do)  I always use delivery confirmation so I can track a item once I have shipped it to a buyer. I should not be rated on "SHIPPING TIME" because I have no control over USPS, UPS, FedEx, or what any other carrier does when I have put a item it in there hands!

Now to the part that is going to make some people ill as a hornet...what about a "STAR" SYSTEM FOR BUYERS??  I have some deadbeat buyers that will bid at the last second of my auction and they know they won, but it takes them 9 to 14 day's to pay! Why did Ebay just make the new ratings for sellers and not the buyers? I believe its about time Ebay took a hard look at this system because what's fair for one should apply to everyone, sellers and buyers alike!! Look at my "ME" page I wrote this almost a year ago!!

Please let other people about this and if you believe what I've took the time to write is the truth (and you know it is) PLEASE rate this with a YES vote below!!
