Comments on: Is 0.01 worth stressing over? http://tamebay.com/2007/12/is-001-worth-stressing-over.html eBay & ecommerce made easy Wed, 23 May 2012 10:05:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: rjrkea http://tamebay.com/2007/12/is-001-worth-stressing-over.html#comment-3235 rjrkea Sun, 23 Dec 2007 01:59:22 +0000 http://www.tamebay.com/2007/12/is-001-worth-stressing-over.html#comment-3235 Here's where hundredths make a difference in the US, during the PowerSeller Challenge. Here are eBay's terms for getting the production bonus: 1) A credit equal to 1% of the difference between your individual sales target and your actual eligible sales during the 6-week PowerSeller Challenge. 2) If your Detailed Seller Rating (DSR) scores are equal to or greater than 4.5 in all four DSR scores, and the average of all four DSR scores is equal to or greater than 4.8, then you will receive a credit equal to 1.5% (instead of the 1% credit) of the difference between your individual target and your actual eligible sales for this period. So in my case I have 4.9, 4.8. 4.7, and 4.7 which comes out to 4.775. That qualifies me for a 1% bonus But is my real numbers are 4.93, 4.83, 4.73 and 4.73, then I actually have 4.805. That would qualify me for a 1.5% bonus. Always follow the money trail on the lack of information. Here’s where hundredths make a difference in the US, during the PowerSeller Challenge.

Well that was fun while it lasted. eBay do have a bit of a habit of closing down API calls that reveal more info than is on the site - remember whoever it was who made private feedback visible? - so I guess it's not a huge surprise. Seems daft to put the info. out and not let people use it though. Oh.

When you consider that with 4.88 on both the top DSR cats we are STILL only in the top 50%, not the top 25% even, that means that there are a lot of people with high marks.
