When a seller gives feedback to a buyer they receive a star rating. What do these ratings mean as a buyer?

I have received all sorts of different color stars even though all sellers have said that it was a positive experience. So what is the difference between a teal star and a yellow star?

Hi

If you are asking about the DSR (Detail Seller Ratings) this link will explain:

If you are asking about the different color of stars beside a member feedback this link will explain:

Hi 'pamela',

You are not actually receiving any of those stars, they belong to the seller beside whose ID they are attached.  See the above link.  You do not yet have a star, but when you get one beside your username after 10 feedback, it will be yellow.  It will change to deep blue at 50, and so on.

Hi dmi,

is it not a blue star after 70 feedbacks?

Thanks.

Hello 'stancad',

Mine changed to blue after 50.  According to the second link 'leb' posted, that would be about right.  We get turquoise when we're 100.  Nothing happens at 70, I don't believe.  As colours go, I like yellow better, but it shrieks "Newbie!", which can be a disadvantage for some. 

So at this point, if you get one more feedback you will have a new colour.  Golly, makes ya feel like a kid again. 😄
