Well, you still need to maintain 4.6 or higher DSRs as well, but that's not as oneorus as the old standards. But just one goofball giving you a 2 can cost a lot of dough in lost discounts.

"I was shocked to see what you left me for feed back. A 4 for shipping time, I shipped it with in 30 minutes of your purchase. (It took you almost 3 weeks to return feedback).

It's damned hard to get all the way down below 4.6. Seller has to be a major screwup to hit that level.
<< <i>Considering his seller status and fee discounts can be affected by a low rating, I can understand his concern. I don't find $2.95 excessive, and if he shipped right away, I don't think a 4 was warranted in either of those 2 categories. >>
If the buyer in fact left a 4, understand that a 4 in "How reasonable were the shipping and handling charges?" is "reasonable" not "excessive". A 4 in "How quickly did the seller ship the item?" is "quickly".
Both appear to be good ratings but in eBay's scheme of thing, neither are and I think it was designed that way.
Folks need to look at the actual wording vs the level of the star and understand that some buyers are not sellers and have no idea how the stars affect sellers. However, In this case, the buyer should have fully understood the implications of assigning 4's if that's what really occured. I see no way of determining who rated what unless the seller checked his dashboard every hour on the hour.
But then, I've been wrong before regarding eBay. >>

Jeremy is correct. The contact does not need to contain any threats. Simply questioning a buyer about DSRs left is a violation.
Sharks1970 - no mention if you really had any issues with the seller, the shipping the item. All you state is that the seller griped about the 4 stars. When you got the item, did you have some problem with it? Did you bother to contact the seller?
Recently I bought a model aircraft from an eBay seller, it arrived missing one of the drop tanks - sure I was sort of chaffed about the packing and the missing part. I got on the email right away and thanked the seller for getting the item to me quickly but that it arrived with a missing drop tank and a cracked landing gear door because of the packing. The seller turned around and sent replacement parts by priority mail - I fixed the plane, and left the seller good marks because he did not intend for anything to happen or leave parts out. I afforded him the opportunity to make it right and he did.
Have to trust people, stuff happens and they want to make it right.

Yep, that is why I go by the postmark. I'm not going to ding a seller if it was postmarked early but the USPS was the delay.
Stuff happens to sellers when you buy stuff. Right now I am buying a lot of model railroad stuff, I recently waited about a week and a half after a BIN purchase - I waited patiently for the items and then out of the blue I got an email from the seller with an apology - his wife had had a stroke, he was obviously dealing with more important things than my $40 order.
I think the fact that the OP cannot answer what provoked him to leave 4's instead of 5's says volumes - about him.
Tir nam beann, nan gleann, s'nan gaisgeach ~ Saorstat Albanaich a nis!
We should all buy something from this guy and if he doesnt have it delivered the next morning we should leave feedback based on his the standards he has set in this thread.
I'm actually not going to tar and feather the OP on this one, even though I would likely be as upset as the seller in question.
The problem is eBay and their deliberate deception. They tell buyers that a 4 is "Reasonable" and a 3 is "Neither reasonable nor unreasonable", i.e., "OK", but with respect to the way eBay has calculated and treated star ratings with respect to sellers, it's "Anything less than a 5 is a failure and we will penalize you."
That's why you've seen sellers panic over 4s... to keep the best fee rates and search placement, you need to keep a 4.8, preferably a 4.9 average.
eBay makes their bones on peeing on sellers' legs and telling them it's raining.
What I fail to understand is this guy has over 3k FB . . . Sells alot if chit, so he knows the importance of the DSRs. So why leave 4s. $2.95 to ship a proof lens is way more than reasonable. Don't believe I want to buy from someone with those kind of ethics.

Not thousands in fees, thousands in potentially lost or reduced SALES. Go to a few of the ebay buyer/seller boards and read about the increasing number of buyers who look at DSRs before deciding whether to bid. It matters, particularly to those of us who derive at least some part of our income from sales there. Lower DSRs cost sellers money, plain and simple.
You can run a seller report. This is what ebay say about detailed seller rating reports:
Run reports to get a better idea of how your selling practices might influence your ratings. For example, you can check to see which sales result in the highest (or lowest) ratings. Run reports regularly to see if your ratings are improving. Note: You need to have at least 10 ratings within the reporting time period to produce a report.

Will you or any rational buyer really refrain from buying a coin you need because the seller has a DSR rating of 4.6 instead of 4.8? Really??

By the way, "never post" means zero posts.
I would like an explanation from forum members of what constitiutes a "4" when all expectations, seemingly, are met?
I tend to give "5's" unless there is a glaring deficency as I realize this is just ebay's ideal; not mine.
Sad that the OP came here to complain and seek support for his poor judgement and left without further clarification.

Should I always give all 5's? Maybe not but I do 99% of the time. If the seller makes a good effort to please the customer, they get 5's.

Not thousands in fees, thousands in potentially lost or reduced SALES. Go to a few of the ebay buyer/seller boards and read about the increasing number of buyers who look at DSRs before deciding whether to bid. It matters, particularly to those of us who derive at least some part of our income from sales there. Lower DSRs cost sellers money, plain and simple.

Run reports to get a better idea of how your selling practices might influence your ratings. For example, you can check to see which sales result in the highest (or lowest) ratings. Run reports regularly to see if your ratings are improving.
Note: You need to have at least 10 ratings within the reporting time period to produce a report.
Will you or any rational buyer really refrain from buying a coin you need because the seller has a DSR rating of 4.6 instead of 4.8? Really??
