DSR's being removed

[mrobind42]

Recently I have noticed that my DSR's on Item not as described have been dropping....literally. I started watching them a couple of months ago because they started getting lower than the others. I try hard to describe my items accurately so I've kept on eye on it, and I'm watching it drop by about 5 points every week or so. IE...last week they were 372, now they are 367. Anybody have any idea what is going on?

The DSRs only stay for a year so they are constantly changing.  Mine are only in the 600 range even though I have over 8000 feedback.

Yes   Ebay wants to keep seller ratings as low as possible to maximize fees charged...

You could be on the three-month rotation for DSR's people are either on a three month or one year so anything three months or older will drop off which is why you may be seeing several dropping off from September right now

Sorry I used the wrong word did not mean to use rotation I guess I should of used the word "cycle" 🙂

Thank everyone for the information. I did not know they drop the ratings every so often. Why on earth would they do that. And why only one category? It's nonsense but being disabled and hardheaded (read I do not want to live off the state) I have to stay with ebay for now.

hi  why not ask one of your disability support groups to muster support

against ebay for viloating dis  discrimination laws.

I am a white old (er) male  and we have no support groups    or I would try

[supershrink]

u are fighting a losing battle    ebay wants our seller ratings low  to keep fees high

[mrobind42]

I don't have a support group either

[supershrink]

u do have Fed law protecting your rights in the work place....

Tell me more...as it pertains to eBay. I would really like to be able to ask why my items do not come up in best match anymore. I know it's because I am VERY vocal when they are trying to cheat me...but someone pointing me in the right direction for solid information on the that would be greatly appreciated.

Like Feedback, DSRs are voluntary.

The number is irrelevant.

For example, I've seen furious buyers post that they won't leave any DSRs for a seller, due to the seller's bad behaviour. (In the buyer's opinion,)

No stars is a Free Pass. Lucky seller.

What is important is the points in each category.

If your average dropped below 4.3 you should be concerned. As it is all your categories show as 4.9 or 5.0.

If you want to raise that, you get automatic Five Stars when you use Free * Shipping.

BTW, this also explains why you have different numbers in each category.

*Which really means 'shipping cost included in price'. I'm sure you know that, but others will be reading this.

[mrobind42]

You're back...I've missed your sage advice. I can't add shipping to the price of most of the miniatures. They do not sell even though the price is still lower than the others who charge shipping. I wish I could...I tried, but even my biggest seller stopped selling

Preasure the Lord!
