If you were really obsessive/compulsive, there is a trick to figure out who gave you the low dsr rating....
Ebay's DSR system gets recalculated around the 20th or 21st of each month (the same time they evaluate you for powerseller and TRS status).
DSR's are supposed to be anonymous (heh like my name!). So if a buyer leaves you positive feedback but dings you with 1's and 2's in the categories, you are not supposed to know which buyer rated you poorly.
But there is a trick to figuring out who did it! You just need to utilize ebay's own reporting mechanism and the process of elimination.
1. Click on Seller Dashboard.
2. click the 'create a report' button
3. choose 'item numbers'
4. wait about 10 minutes and the report will be available.
I haven't done this in awhile, but if I recall, you can compare up to 10 item numbers at a time. For the purpose of this example, I will stick w/ 10 item numbers.
Of those 10 item numbers, it will show you the individual ratings you received - how many 1's, 2's, 3's, 4's and 5's. You won't know which item numbers gave you the 1's or 2's, but you can tell if any of those 10 buyers gave you a 1 or 2.
If they didn't notice anyone give you a 1 or 2 rating, then just repeat the process with a new sample batch of 10 until you find the 1 item number. When you do, you just need to use process of elimination methods to isolate it.
Bear in mind this is can be a both tedious and time consuming process because ebay takes about 10 minutes or so before a new report is generated. And yes, I was bored one day but was a little pissed my 5.00 rating dropped to like 4.85 suddenly :-) |
