I don't see it... Where is it, is it in "my ebay"?

UtahCoin

I found it, under "Seller Account" on the My eBay page.

Yippee, I qualified for the 15% discount. Now I can buy that new sports car I always wanted....

Russ

<< <i>Yippee, I qualified for the 15% discount. >>



Yeah, me too. In fact, my shipping cost DSR is up a tenth at 4.9 in the dashboard.

FYI... You can check DSR ratings at this website too :

Where do you see under your seller account if you qualified or not? I don't see anything related to DSR's under mine...

and am i correct about the 15% discount is only for powersellers?

Russ

Might not be. eBay got it implemented later than they said they would, so it wouldn't be a surprise that they haven't got it completely rolled out.

Russ, NCNE

jessewvu

Thanks, I just found it. From my main My eBay > My Account > Seller Dashboard.

eBay has not yet calculated your PowerSeller discount

What does that mean? It looks like I got hit with a 4.7 on shipping charges for only charging actual costs, not a penny more It looks like I will get the 5% though.

coinman420

thanks russ. is the 15% discount only for powersellers?

Russ

<< <i>eBay has not yet calculated your PowerSeller discount

It means the dollar amount hasn't been calculated yet. That will happen when it's closer to invoice time.



<< <i>is the 15% discount only for powersellers? >>



Yes, the FVF discounts are currently only for Powersellers. I say currently, because my gut tells me that eventually eBay will roll it out for all sellers.

Russ, NCNE

CarlWohlforth

Cool, thanks for the heads up. My discount hasn't been calculated yet.

I think I should start charging more, or ship slower or something! My ratings are too high, I'm probably leaving money on the table. I'm sure I could save money by cutting corners or increasing shipping charges. All my 30 day averages are 5 and I have %100 feedback.

Russ

BTW, eventually the dashboard will show hundreths so we can know how close we are to up or down movement.

Russ, NCNE

Fairlaneman

No sales during the past 30 days equals No dashboard. Correct?

Auction-Bytes did some interesting math.

It appears that some large sellers will save about $300 to $500 per month
on FVFs by obtaining the maximum discount for "fair shipping charges."

BUT, the same sellers could make another $2000.00+ per month by
INCREASING their S+H charges and waiving the FVF discounts.

PSYCHO buyers will make the discounts difficult to maintain, anyway.
MANY sellers offering "FREE" shipping are currently NOT getting
the top-ratings.

All that says is that they were over-charging for shipping.

Interesting, I have taken the last few months off, I am sure I don't qualify for much.

Not sure if your comment is tongue-in-cheek, but charging more for S&H seems to raise a red flag. I'm a very small seller, but have been selling off stuff recently. I revised a listing that originally had S&H of $2.50 for a $99 item. When I revised the bid down to $15.95, a red message appeared on my revision form. It stated something to the effect that my S&H was out of line with comparable items(not sure if they were directly comparable or not). It went on to say that my listing could be removed for excessive S&H charges. What a crock. I then revised again, as I really needed to drop the S&H down anyway, and the message disappeared.

It really sucks if you've got a final bid that's relatively low but the item weight results in a higher S&H to price disparity. I fully expect to hear complaints (rightly so) of listings being suddenly removed due to the eBay S&H software police.

yes, this must be why.

No dashboard. Not a powerseller. Only sold 275 items in ten years on eBay.

Is eBay moving towards powersellers only and slowly forcing the occasional sellers out?

jessewvu

I doubt it. They want everyone and anyone selling.

Wolf359

No dashboard here

smokincoin

Mine also shows "not calculated yet". For those of you who's already calculated...are you receiving the discounts yet?

Russ

<< <i>For those of you who's already calculated...are you receiving the discounts yet? >>



Nobody's has yet been calculated. The discounts don't kick in until next month.

Russ, NCNE

I'm not a PowerScrewer, so it doesn't matter dick how high my DSR's get.

"MANY sellers offering "FREE" shipping are currently NOT getting

nor will they get any discount unless they are power sellers correct?

Just the one's that decide they cannot afford 8.75% FV fee's any longer.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


Correct.

BUT, there are LOTS of rumors on the EBAY boards that some
other discount scheme will be instituted for non-PSers, IF this
one has the desired effect.

CarlWohlforth

<<Not sure if your comment is tongue-in-cheek, >>

Yes, that was a taste of my dry humor.

I guess the dashboard is currently only showing for us PowerScrewers as Russ used to call us before he became one.

I qualified

Hope I can keep the ratings up

Looks like a good way for big brother to monitor your sales to see if you're repoting them in your taxes

Russ

I hear clues are on sale right now.

Vamguy,

Don't show that to all the whiney sellers over on the eBay feedback forum.

I passed go and collected two hundred dollars. Then I saved fifteen percent by shopping at the goodwill

thisnamztaken

Yeah, my account just has preferences and then feedback, with no "dashboard" in-between. I'm just a small-time seller though.

mrpotatoheadd

DSRs are a joke. I ship same day/next day and my "Shipping time" rating is 4.7. I guess I should be using my time machine to go back to before the buyer bids to ship his item to him.
