The only reason items ever ended up on the first page was due to time ending soonest, but in some categories with large numbers of listings this was a fleeting advantage sometimes only worth seconds or minutes at busy times of day.

I read a post recently where someone had raised status and a featured item that was posted towards the last page due to the recent best match glitch. eBay refused to refund the seller on the grounds that there is no guarantee of their listing ever appearing on the first page. @ #16

Looking at your feedback now your customer service is obviously greatly improved and you should be proud of yourself!

Now that ebay traffic is slow im paying a tenth of that. I not sure if keeping all items on featured, in the past it used to work, but not now, as auctions is what i used to sell mainly, now i have majority buy it now, again with this new change in strategy which is welcome, commencing on the 25 th september by ebay , i will be adding many products from my webstore to my ebay shop, which i think is cheaper advertising than google adwords pound for pound versus traffic. #10 I think sales have been quite due to the credit crunch, and the fact that i do not list most of my items on featured like i used to, my ebay shop troneclimited , used to pay ebay fees upto 10 thousand pounds a month for over a couple of years.

Remember that buyers only see the 12 month DSRs, as a buyer I now tend to look at DSRs before feedback, and I would walk away once I saw yours, irrespective of feedback score. On the other hand I would have no hesitation from buying from a seller with a hundred or so feedback and great DSRs. This could be why your sales are quiet at the moment.

My DSRs have improved and Are improving since i did fall under seller non performance. Month to month my figures are increasing and i am on the roll to receive my second discount on fees, so yes i have been working on my DSRs. My 12 month DSRs will just take time to build up, but id rather not take the short cut rather i would work on the business model to improve it and so have and will continue to do so. #10 . Hi, dave.
