I have not seen any better, unless ... While Ebay says only 3%, I think overseas sellers can go up to 10% in total. (i remember some vague numbers given by Richard when he defends the UK-US loss of visibility). Hi,

Me: because you left me neutral feedback saying you didn't like the colour of the bracelet you bought. Buyer: if I'd know you were going to block me, I'd've left you a neg! :lol: Sam reminds me of an exchange with a buyer that still amuses me years later:

That would enable us to identify whether home grown or international customers are unhappy etc...

I think when the item is something the buyer *needs* buyer expectation is much higher for delivery speed etc batteries would be an example. Were as a nice piece of furniture that takes a bit longer but the item is something they really *want* then these buyers seem to be more relaxed and just excited about the prospect of the item arriving.

I have just come to the realisation that these changes are coming on board and there is not much we can do now. either lump it or leave it. thats my outlook on it. Oh yeah, in 2 months time, we will be like, what was all the fuss about DSR. as everyone knows, eBay constantly changes, so if you dont like change, then eBay aint your baby. Theses are all just my personal opinions!!!! :grin: :idea: is tamebay turning into the PS boards!!!

I'm pretty much of the opinion that some categories lend themselves to overall lower DSRs than others. I have no conclusive proof and eBay would be....shall we say a little reluctant to divulge category by category average DSRs. I'm pretty sure that in some categories almost all sellers would rank pretty highly whereas in other categories almost all sellers would rank fairly low compared to the cross site averages :shock: Talking of categories Whirly….

Quite frankly now that retaliatory feedback from sellers is about to be erradicated there's very little excuse for keeping anonymous DSRs and in my opinion sellers should be able to see them on a sale by sale basis so that they can assess where they are excelling and where a customer feels they've give less than fantastic service.
