To be even clearer.
If you leave anything less than FIVE STARS for a seller, his ability to list and sell will be hurt.
If you feel very 'meh' about a transaction, leave NO STARS. This is a Free Pass neither hurting nor helping him.
If you are furious with your treatment leave ONE STAR. If a seller's DSRs drop below 4.3 his ability to list and sell is greatly reduced and his cost to list rises.
