What eBay does not tell you the Buyer is that the DSR rating effects the Seller and the fees eBay charges the seller. If the Seller has a higher DSR rating they receive a discount on their eBay seller fees as well as a higher ranking in searches.
Why is this important to you? Because I can offer you the lowest prices around with this discount. It is plain and simple, if I do not get a discount from the ever rising eBay seller fees, then I must raise the price of the products to stay in business and continue to sell on eBay.
Please remember a Seller must make money to stay in business. Whether you pay a low product price and high shipping fee or high product price and low shipping fee, YOU are still paying for a product and service to get it to you. Please consider the overall price you are paying when giving your DSR. 5 Stars = Better Deals for YOU.
Is what true? If you meet the criteria of To seller something or other, yes, you get a discount off of FVF, subject to conditions, exclusons, availability, etc.
Aug 20th is the implementation date for the new seller rating system.
Actually, this topic has been flogged like it is a carpet hanging over a fence with a Baba wailing on it.
Whereas, before, seller ratings were based on a very narrow number of stats, any one of which could torpedo a seller, eBay is going to a broader based defect system. They could have used any word, but, chose "defect" as that seems to be the most annoying word they could find.
It counts things differently.
My "opinion" based on what I "think" is that they are trying to reduce the number of Top Rated Sellers who get the 20% discount. I also have the opinion that I think they are lowering the floor for suspensions.
I "think" less TRS discount, but, poor performing sellers will get more chances to clean-up their act.
