After 6.5 Years on Ebay, I decided to write a guide about something that is bugging me....THIS NEW DSR RATINGS FEEDBACK SYSTEM. 

It is Very Important for you to Fill out your DSR Stars and to Fill Them Out Accurately. Think about what you are doing, and how your answers will affect the seller.

Contrary, to what buyers may think, the DSR's change everyday and it is very easy to track The DSR's you left. 

While receiving excellent feedback, my Search results have gone from Highered, to Standard, Back to Highered, and then Lowered in a matter of 3 days.  Although, 3 of the items that lowered my DSR Ratings were each $2.00 shipping charges, the buyers seemed to think they were being over-charged and gave me a bad rating on my shipping charges star.  I know this, as I called Ebay to find out what was up? 

When my DSR's shoot one way or the other, it effects my total standings with Ebay and my potential to get my listing fees rebate at the end of the month. To me, this is not a fair practice, and many buyer's are abusing the system.

Currently, I have been checking my DSR's everytime I get a new feedback.  When I dip in the ratings, please do not expect me to reciprocate on positive feedback, as I will not be leaving you positive feedback. Today, after two very nice feedbacks and, obviously, very truthful DSR's, my ratings are all at 4.8 or higher.  This may change by later today.

When I charge a $2.00 shipping fee for first class mail, I do this as a courtesy.  I am losing money on shipping.  I have to buy envelopes, bubblewrap, tissue paper, tape and zippy bags.  Priority Mail gives me some of my supplies for FREE~~ Boxes and  Tape.  But, the shipping charges will be triple....As I do add a $1.00 handling fee. The item I was charging $2.00 for will now cost you $6.00. 

I am asking, that you, the buyer, be fair when filling out your DSR's.  My shipping charges are always listed in the auction.  If you feel they are not fair, please do not bid on my auctions. Everybody wants everything for FREE and if it isn't FREE, it doesn't mean it is unreasonable.  It means there is a cost attached to getting your items to you in an a Safe and Timely Manner.
