I am gonna lose my Top Rated Seller status, does it matter?

I've not fallen victim to it, yet, but that's a bullshiit policy that needs to be addressed. But I'm sure it's not very often... so probably not that big of a deal. Unless you're OP!

So, I was curious about this, and according to ebay it's not so. As of 10/1, or maybe even before.

Straight from ebay's site...

Maybe it's different in Germany, though. No clue. :(

Do you think my sales will be negatively affected by it?

Is Germany different than the US when it comes to this policy? If not, what I just posted above says you're in the clear.

I don't ship with tracking. I called eBay and e-mailed them multiple times over this and nothing worked. They didn't agree to remove any late-shipment defects even though it was not my fault.

it is your responsibility to ship promptly,you choose a particular shipper.
did you mark the listings shipped?
Some sellers do not use tracking,they sell low price light items and all they do is mark it shipped,-stamps,coin,thread,ribbon,postcards>
Once I received a dvd shipped in a used envelope turned inside out,no tracking.np padding,it arrived intact
