If as a seller, most of your items are BUY IT NOW- what value is a BUYER RATING SYSTEM?
Your opportunity, as a seller, to block an unwanted bidder is ZERO, beyond the mechanisms eBay provides.
With BUY IT NOW, you sort of take what ever buyer comes along, and hope for the best.
eBay IS NOT educating BUYERS- who are often woefully misled by the degree of SATISFACTION FOUR STARS represents. And, we as sellers CANNOT address these issues adequately- no matter how hard we try.
HOWEVER- at the end of the day, we as sellers, have absolutely NO CONTROL over what feedback and DSR's may, or may not, be left. You can suggest FIVE STAR SERVICE all you want- and still run into BUYERS who have NO CLUE!!! what you are talking about!
Having RAISED our domestic shipping by 50%, and our international shipping by 33%- we are enjoying the HIGHEST monthly shipping handling DSR ever of 4.97 !
Anyone think we can get to a FULL 5 if we raise our shipping rates again?
