curious how many made the cut

You betcha! I will now be the envy of the numismatic/card fraternity and my children will finally have pride in their father.

greghansen · October 17, 2009 2:05AM

Are you a Top Rated seller

All day long!
At least until some joker negs me...probably on some $5 deal.

I've had good luck lately by not running into any psycho's for several months. I'm due for some looney's.
Holiday season is around the corner. That will probably bring them out of the woodwork.

diamondman · October 17, 2009 2:07AM

nope, didn't make grade A , guess I should offer free shipping (not). had one buyer nail me 4 times with 2 stars for shipping and handling chgs and shipping time even though I ship within 24 to 48 hrs. (not my fault mail is slow). Oh well powerseller discount now 5% instead of 15%.

Wish feebay let sellers leave stars for buyers LOL.

puritan9 · October 17, 2009 2:17AM

Yes

OPA · October 17, 2009 2:33AM

That's a big 10 4 good buddy .... I love the 20% discount of my monthly fees ... and the first 5 freeby monthly auctions with a cap of $20 FVF also helps. (Great for selling items of $600 or more)

lkeigwin · October 17, 2009 2:37AM

Yes.

ctf_error_coins · October 17, 2009 2:38AM

NO!!!!!!!

READ MY FEEDBACK!!!!!!! 100%

AS DESCRIBED 4.9 STARS (THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT STAR BY FAR!!!!!!!!!)
the rest 4.9, 4.9, and ..... shipping 4.7 oh my

I do know why of course

I do charge for shipping

I DO GO to the post office to ship and it is always the day/day after I get paid. Extremely fast shipping that way.

If I go to free shipping, I'm sure I'd be a favorite in a few months I would think.

Darn you ebay.

Please tell me what is wrong with this picture

Over 10 years on ebay

Here's an interesting screenshot:

eBay finally nuked the guy, but not before he made them look pretty stupid.

Russ, look at mine, why did this guy get it and not me???? makes NO sense to me.

OPA · October 17, 2009 2:45AM

Hey, Russ ... I see you got yours ...

BTW per your screen shot ... all of his negs happened within the last 30 days. Prior to that, he was clean as a whistle.

diamondman · October 17, 2009 3:16AM

my 30 day rating is: 4.9, 4.9, 5.0, 4.7
my 12 month rating is 4.9, 5.0, 5.0, 4.8, but I am just an above standard seller (fine by me) and as was stated earlier:

dam you ebay

touche · October 17, 2009 3:37AM

Yes, until one of those ebay 'Texas Tower Sniper' decides shipping and coin should be free.

Wolf359 · October 17, 2009 3:42AM

About 1 in 4 make Top Rated Seller from what I've calculated. And yes, the "formula" needs a lot of tweaking.

shark1970 · October 17, 2009 3:50AM

<< About 1 in 4 make Top Rated Seller from what I've calculated. And yes, the "formula" needs a lot of tweaking. >>

I figure the yes votes will be higher on these forum boards due to more reputable
people on the boards

if I go to ebay forum boards and do the same poll I'm sure the yes votes would be lower.

PrivateCoinCollector · October 17, 2009 4:07AM

Yes, and I do not offer free shipping on auctions. BUT I charge pretty much the actual postage and the cost of a padded envelope.

OPA · October 17, 2009 4:07AM

I would like to see your calculations ...

Board members so far .. about 3 out of 5 get the smiley face ....

You can search by Top Rated seller on eBay.

erwindoc · October 17, 2009 5:14AM

I got it, but I am not sure how. It also says 100% positive feedback, but if you look I had a neg about a year ago. Maybe it is past the 12 month period and it is void now.

LindeDad · October 17, 2009 5:37AM

I do not feed the monster enouph.

UtahCoin · October 17, 2009 5:50AM

Yep, sure did. The 20% discount helps.

I'm with you

notwilight · October 17, 2009 8:20AM

No, too many "Slow Shipping" ratings from registered mail. I've switched to Express Mail and eBay tells me I'm on track to make it next round of ratings based on this but now I see that I've got 4 guys saying I charge too much for shipping even though I charge actual amount.

As I read the rules they have a maximum number or a maximum percentage. I don't see how any high volume seller can make it but it appears some do. --Jerry

airplanenut · October 17, 2009 12:36PM

I should be in 3 days...

shark1970 · October 18, 2009 2:15AM

I was hoping to get 100 votes, we are half way there.

Update. I figured out that I had an old listing with no return policy specified. I fixed that and now have the "Top Seller" icon although I don't seem to have the numbers to support it. I'm not sure if they are giving us a grace period to get our numbers up or what.

--Jerry

jessewvu · October 23, 2009 3:53AM

I made but had to become a powerseller before it showed up in my account. A day after I got my top rated seller rating as a Gold powerseller, it went to silver.... Go figure.

erroid · October 23, 2009 5:20AM

No, I don't have enough FB's to qualify. I've been selling on eBay for almost 7 years, have 100% and my (1) bad star is 4.9, all the rest are 5's; oh yeah, I do about $1K/mo....

They shouldn't be... I didn't get it the first month, but have it now. Perhaps you qualified during the last check, but something has changed since then?

JamesMurray · October 23, 2009 5:34AM

No , i dont know anything about it , could care less.If im auctioning an item i pay my fees and charge shipping.Usually i lose a little on the shipping but i generally hope the auction end price makes up for that.
On reading Ebays quarterly report Ebay going down the pan its clear the people in charge want rid of auctions altogether anyway , it'll soon be another Amazon , the guy in charge will be the death of Ebay , why would i listen to anything they have to say ?
Ive been on 2 years this time , 515 100% feedback , never been negged or a nuetral , never given one either.

Coinlearner · October 23, 2009 5:40AM

...Yep have that little ribbon AND ...Still a "Powerxxx" but have not sold anything over the summer,but will again shortly. 100% with 2 4.9 and 2 5.0 stars.

I did make it when it first came out. Then school started and I stopped selling, and now it's gone

I just noticed that eBay changed the display on the DSRs.

Transactions: 99
Your average Low ratings (1s and 2s)
Item as described 4.97 0.00% (0)
Communication 4.97 0.00% (0)
Shipping time 4.93 0.00% (0)
Shipping and handling charges 4.93 0.00% (0)

I don't sell coins but oddities I find at yard sales, and I usually am good about estimating and charging close to the actual cost of shipping, sometimes shipping costs $2.00 and sometimes $25.00 and I'm surprised no one has nuked me (or USPS/UPS, according to eBay) for high shipping costs.
