Top Rated At Risk! So upset anything i can do?

lindseykim13

Thanks for cheering me up, i never really factored in the discount that TRS gives anyway so not going to miss that much. Just worried sales will drop but hey i managed before that so i'm sure things will be fine. Can't see many keepin TRS if your only allowed 3 low stars in a 12mth period. Your always going to get the numpties who hit 1's 2's as standard. I still don't get the system though how can i with 4.8-4.9 for dispatch not be worthy of my TRS when someone with 4.5-4.6 is! Stupid star system- and for the record as a buyer i have never left a seller a lower than 4 star even when they've been poor i wouldn't want to ruin their business.

I have a hunch they were left by newbies-ebay really should give lessons out before buying. Anyone know if it warns a buyer when leaving stars that they are leaving a poor rating? Like they do with a neg?

Recently I left poor stars for an item which p&p was massively over priced. I was expecting some kind of message asking to resolve with the seller, but nothing came up.

If I were in your shoes I would only post by 1st class for a while to see if you can get your stars up.

I have listing a few things this last month & quoted for 2nd class in my listings. When I got to the post office I realised that my scales must be out as pretty much all the items were coming in at less then when I had weighed them, so I sent all the items by first class instead. I tend to send a message once I have sent the items & in that message I mentioned I had upgraded to 1st class.

My DSR's have always been 4.8 for p&p (even when I was going through a stint of free p&p!), then this week I noticed they had "jumped" to 4.9! The only thing I can think is that my buyers thought they were getting a better deal so marked my stars better.

Thought you didn't leave feedback for sellers ? Isn't this what you wrote in your other thread

Thanks thats a big help at least i can hope 1 or 2 were left in error, otherwise i think i will take your advice and post 1st class for a while although it seems to take ages for those dsr's to improve.

Why if a seller is poor aren't you honest? Surely there are some people who shouldn't really be in business if they don't find they can please the people who buy from them. As a seller I like the star system, it keeps me from overcharging and it makes a lot of sense as a buyer.

Yes, it does warn people, it asks you to comment specifically on why you are rating them a 1 or a 2.

I'm running at 4.96 for despatch time and always use 2nd class.

Me too but unlike the OP I always post next day. (And I even used the 'Sellers Standard Rate' but alas no more.) A lot of the time it arrives as quick as 1st class. I even had a Standard Parcels item arrive next day the other week!
