    Agree with this, although in my situation, I'm selling about £40 worth of goods a day (low value), which is about 4 or 5 items (low volume), and of this I'm earning myself about £30 profit.

    £30 profit a day isn't enough to let me give up work, but it IS enough that it makes a massive difference to me.

    But, a few low stars (again, possibly unwarranted ones) could stop me earning this, which I don't think is fair.
    When you said 'earn a full time living and relying on eBay' and 'livelyhood' in your previous post it made it sound like a full time business. You are not relying on ebay for a living because you still have your job to fall back on, but I appreciate that the extra income is useful.

    There is no point in worrying about the unwarranted/unfair stars until (if!) they happen. Just provide the best service you can for the items you do sell.

    Yeah true, worry about it IF it happens! Its a shame though, as I'd much prefer a system where if I sell correctly, and do the best job I possibly can for my buyers (which is what I plan and intend to do), I would like to know for certain that my account would be safe.

    Thats in an ideal world, of course, and I'm not naive enough to think we live in one of those!

    I just got rid of a whole pile of old clothes via Ebay - unfortunately I slightly miscalculated the high cost of P&P and ended up with very little reward for the time spent listing and then packaging and posting. However, I have cleared out a nice space in my wardrobe and can now buy more clothes to fill it up again :D

    My only suggestion would be to list your items for a price you're willing to accept and not load the P&P charges - then you get what you feel is a fair price for your item and the buyer doesn't feel they've paid over the odds for the postage.
