    As its combined with the delivery time, it no longer matters

    unfortunately ebay delivery estimates are way too optimistic,which gives a false impression of delivery dates.
    It was much easier to look at the sellers dispatch time and postage method to get a more realistic estimate.

    Au contraire.

    How does one mark the dispatch DSR?

    It is completely relevant and if eBay are allowing defects for slow dispatch they need to be clear when dispatch is due and when it actually occurs.

    I hadnt initially thought of it from that aspect.
    But yes you are right if people are going to be marked on how slow or quick dispatch was it would require us knowing what the dispatch times were.

    Unless ebay are planning to drop the dispatch stars?

    Let's be honest, only about 1 in 10000 buyers actually look at the dispatch time and even fewer of them will remember what it was supposed to be come the time to leave feedback.
