Tell buyers in your TOS that aprox. arrival date is twice as expected. Then if package is late, at last it would arrive as stated, but most of the times buyer is surprised for good, "arrived before expected" and so. It works for me, keeps those *'s up and allows me my lazy days when I feel like

The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!
I started doing free shipping on just BIN items. My DSRs have gone up and I actually make more money in the long run because more people do BIN now rather than the auctions.
Hey folks:
Anyone been trying/testing Free Shipping, to get the dsrs up?
Ive tried this on one of my user ids, and it doesnt seem to matter for me,,
>> I mean really--how in the world can you be averaging 4.7 ,,when S+H id=s absolutely FREE??
Im thinking buyers are just giving out 1's for kicks??
Any thoughts??
Ive written to my PS acct mgr- she says its all about ebay rules/policies,,something she doesnt always agree with-but must abide by.??
Heres a text from a chat with another long time ebayer...
Ebay is trying to get sellers to include the shipping and handling into the cost of the auction. The problem is that the sellers will bear more of the risk. Economically, the more risk that the seller takes the more reward he will need to cover the additional liability. That means that the buyer's overall cost will go up.
I suppose that the buying "experience" get's better. However, you pay for it.
.....you do understand that this is a 0 sum game that only eBay wins by collecting additional fees at the buyers ultimate expense.
If you're using ⊗⊗⊗⊗ info how can you get power seller status and a power seller manager? Also won't powerseller status make you more noticable to ebay?
