Has anyone started including p&p to improve DSRs? If so do items still sell and have DSRs improved?

pinkgem

when i have offered free p&p some people didn't give me a rating at all for p&p! they must have thought because it was free they didn't have to rate it!?

FloFlo

Lol, don't want that!

You cant win with DSR what ever you do, you're at the mercy of customers; half of whom are in 'cloud cuckoo land.

Just be reasonable, you can't do much more

My postage DSRs are now higher as a result of me undercharging postage

Pretty shocking that you have to eat some of the P&P costs in order for them to be seen as reasonable.

I have no problem giving 5/5 as long as the cost isn't massively inflated.

I think they only way you might gain on DSRs for P&P is to keep the charge as close to the psotage cost as possible, maybe slightly under, so that people can see they are getting a good deal. Free P&P doesn't appear to work.

The problem is that people think the packing material (which can be expensive on some items) is free. I'd rather pay a bit more and have a well packed item myself. I hope sellers don't start cutting corners just to improve their DSRs.

My sales prices have increased too, its actually one of the best things I've ever done o Ebay.

So you're getting more bids because of the lower P&P?

I guess it all balances out nicely then!

Just goes to show the lunacy of ebay

Buyers are prepared to pay more for an item as long as the P&P is the price stated on the stamp (or under)!
