A recent ebayer left me only 4 stars for shipping recently on an item that I lost money to ship....I emailed him and asked why he didn't give me 5 stars and that I had lost money and his reply to me was "I could have shipped it cheaper"....How I could have shipped it cheaper I have no idea (I suppose I could have lied and said it was a book and sent it book rate, but I don't do stuff like that) but what are you going to do? I have no idea why ebay is penalizing sellers who get a "very good" rating, but they are.

The feedback rating does not make sense. I sold a card with free shipping. I sent it by USPS Priority Mail and the bidder received it within 3 days of paying. He left me a 4 for shipping. I asked him why and he said I could have sent it by express mail.

I only use ebay now if I absolutely have to. I have discovered that their customer service is only slightly a notch above that of Comcast. Which in turn places it still below Shady Nate's Auto-Body repair and Crack Dealer down the street.
Bottom Line.... It's a joke.

eBay's rating system is a mess
a seller can only post Positive feedback, while the buyer can post anything for any reason he chooses. Once paid, I ship out that day or the following morning, but if it takes awhile for the post office to deliver it to the buyer, I can get fried w/ neg feedback or low stars. So I just go w/ the flow, nothing you can do.

I seem to remember getting a ebay note saying if any catagory goes below 4.3 your account will be suspended. Not sure for how long. with this system you can still get several 4s before it becomes a problem.

Shipping
The only ebay feedback category I have a problem with is the "shipping charges"
4 stars is "Reasonable: 5 stars is "Very Reasonable" If you charge actual shipping costs that seems "Reasonable" to me, but only 4stars are earned when I think if actual shipping costs or less are charged the seller should earn 5 stars. This seems like ebay has went overboard to make sellers offer "free shipping" since they don't get their vig on the shipping costs.

The solution
Sell your cards here.
Sell your other stuff on Craig's List. Keep your money and your sanity. But you can still purchase on Ebay because it's completely catered to the buyer (and the "store owner") That is if you can find anything there. The selection of material for auction has gone so far down it's pathetic. You can't even tell what market value is on anything because of all the ridiculous BIN's by sellers. They all have them jacked up so high just hoping some sucker will come along and bite. I'm sure the recession has a lot to do with it but Ebay needs to look in the mirror if they want that kind of traffic to come back. Last edited by Chesbro41; 05-27-2009 at 02:45 PM.

No one has yet mentioned...even though it's inferred
That the obvious problem with the seller's block is that he is protecting his business by shrinking his pool of potential customers ....--which is a very unusual way of expanding your business.
and it is very easy to hit the 4 stars instead of 5 simply by mistake or an inadvertent shake of the mouse... and to the above post regarding express mail...where does it stop? You gonna receive 3 stars some day because you didn't walk it over to his house?

Have you noticed that if you don't leave feedback for a purchase and the item is about to "expire" as "live," eBay marks the item:
You haven't left feedback yet. Problem with the item? Don't miss the deadline for filing a case. Seems like they're encouraging trouble... Btw, I almost never leave feedback if pay for an item in nine seconds and the seller hasn't left feedback for me.
