Has any seller been penalized / blocked by ebay for being rated 4 out of 5 in service?

I am sure some sellers have been warned and had their monthly discounts (for volume sellers) reduced due to 4 stars....

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.

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. |

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. |

I got booted at one point because the rolling average of my DSR fell below 4.0 or whatever. I was livid at the time. I can understand the idea of blocking a bidder who wasn't a 5 star rater just to avoid a future problem.
The problem is with Ebay's draconian system, not with the seller.

Has anyone considered auctioning off cards on the BST? I haven't really thought it through...maybe it wouldn't work. Just a thought

The new system is stupid when "very good" can get you suspended. I always offer free shipping and insurance on everything I list, but somehow I have a 4.5 rating for shipping charges.

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. |
