I sent my ebay account manager a message pointing out how this promotion just doesn't make sense at any level and that I thought it was unethical of ebay to try to train buyers to expect free shipping since it was eBays attempt to make sellers pay ebay a percentage on a legitimate business expense. he seemed to agree. --Jerry

Seems to me that they were already doing that through the shipping DSRs and the fee incentives for maintaining 4.8s across the board.

"OUR COINS ARE ALL 100% GUARANTEED TRUE BECAUSE COME FROM WORLD AUCTIONS AND PRIVATE NUMISMATICS COLLECTIONS. DON’T BUY THE SLAB BUT THE COIN ( YOU CAN VERIFY IT : please read below ); USUALLY YOU PAY A COIN WITH SLAB MUCH MUCH MORE BUT A PROFESSIONAL NUMISMATIC OR A PROFESSIONAL COLLECTOR DON’T NEED SLAB BUT COIN."
Not only that, but the structure of the sentences looks almost like a play on Russian! Perhaps this Milano account is really a Russian account?

And the bad thing is even if you did offer free shipping, bidiots still would not give you a 5 star rating.

The numbers don't work. For the vast majority of items, the cost of shipping exceeds the amount returned by the 15% discount on the final value fee. In addition, free shipping is a great way to kill the shipping cost DSR. Because of the way eBay worded it, a lot of buyers think that a "3" means "not applicable".

Absolutely right. Just another case where a lot of sellers fail to do the math, and think Ebay's doing them a favor. I hadn't thought about the angle of training sellers to expect free shipping though. In any case, chasing a high DSR for shipping is a waste of time.
