How do I improve DSR Stars?

[Hockey12]

Ok it says 2.60 (6)?? At the top it says low ratings of 1 and 2s? But how many ratings do I need to get to atleast to 2.40?

[Ebayorbust]

You've got 6 low ratings out of 230 transactions. (2.6%)

To get your % down to 1.00%, you'd need to get your transactions to 600, so that would be another 370 sales.

The above assumes you get no more low DSRs out of the 370. It may not be quite as many as some of the low DSRs counting against you may drop off over the time period.

To get to 2.4% you need to get to 250 transactions, so that's another 20.

Hope that helps.

I merged the threads. You asked about this some time back

So you have done nothing ?

@Hockey12 - DSR is the base of the eB seller judging platform - if you dont have good DSRs you will fail.

[Hockey12]

Yes I have good DSR but shipping and handling dsr are killing me.. I'm doing free shipping now..

For you to go from top rated, and drop to below standard in 1 month is extreme.
You need to look and see what you have done differently this month, to let it get this bad?
Personally i would have started worrying when the account dropped to standard, and not wait for it to reach this and then expect a quick fix.

I also do not believe that all your buyers were malicious and have rated you 1 and 2 without a proper reason or cause.

Have you sold less this month, than all previous months?
What is your shipping fee that you were charging buyers?

OP did little to nothing about paying attention to the multiple responses in the thread. Only mention of free-shipping happening & nothing else. Suspect this might be too little too late

Hard to get miracles when they resort to reporting buyers for petty matters

Even though your making about $100 bucks out of 100 pieces you sold it should at least get your 1's & 2's to go down & even become a top rated/power seller if maintained

My shipping I see in my dashboard says 4.79 and in red 2.60% [6] I charge 6.00 for shipping for 8x10 photos with tracking.. I see this as a fair price as I do PayPal shipping. Also I would like to change my account to a business account but it asks for a business #? How would I do that? Never used a business # on my banned account..

just because it sounds fair to you does not matter. you are not thinking of your customer. i am sure it costs less than $6 to send it anyway. increase the price of your item a little, offer free shipping and you will probably get more sales

I'm changing your name. You are going to be called Déjà vu from now.

There's memory problems somewhere. Same question asked & replied to previously.

Well here is the thing, If you as you listing as you State here, and assuming you are providing a Tracking Number within 24 HRS of Payment, then 2 of the 4 DSR's are automatically a 5 (Shipping Time and Cost) So that leaves Communication and Description,,

So what is the Mystery??? Your Solution is SIMPLE, answer Questions Quickly (Within 24 HRS)(Somehow, I feel that the Communication DSR is NOT your Problem) AND give an HONEST and COMPLETE Description of what you are listing,,,

Now, Just because in your Mind you do NOT actually Lie on your listings,,ABSOLUTLY does NOT Mean that your listings are HONEST,,an Example would be,,

If you have an article for sale, and your listing does NOT mention the color, now, it is fairly common knowledge that the VAST Majority of what you are selling is normaly seen in RED, and that RED is VASTLY Prefered to ANY other Color.

The one you are selling Actually Blue,,,that is a DISHONEST Listing, which Leads to an Unhappy Buyer, which leads to a Low DSR for Description,,,

I recommend buying cheap items from Chinese sellers that can be resold for a slightly higher price, and then buy a large quantity that will allow you to negotiate a discount. Such as someone said before, buying 500 eyeliners, but this time ask to buy 500 for a 12% discount. Ask them to send you an invoice to the e-mail address attached to your paypal account so they don't have to pay fee's. Most will do it. Then resell all of these for no actual profit, even if you lose some money think of it as an investment towards creating more positive feedback.

In regards to selling eyeliner, sell it as a quantity of 1, but actually send them 2 if it is affordable and you aren't losing too much money. Most buyers will be happy that you've sent them two.

Most importantly, do this as FREE SHIPPING. If you can, provide a tracking number within hours of the purchase and make sure you send it out as soon as possible.

I had to contact my local USPS to figure out how I can ship things faster through them, they said if I drove closer to a hub which is about 30 minutes from where I live, then the items could potentially be received a day sooner. So, luckily a post office located near the hub was on my way to work and sure enough, people would get my packages sooner.

With this, I was able to secure better DSR's. Now 80% of my inventory on eBay is stuff just like this for the purpose of keeping my TRS status and shielding me from negs and low DSR's.

Stop treating us with disrespect.

We gave you the reply last week.

All up you have made over 200 posts.

In most of those , you have repeated the same questions.

You have ALWAYS been given the answers.

Now, go read back over your recent threads. The reply about the scanner is there.

[Hockey12]

I always treat people with respect. I want to clear that up. And ok I see now. I'm sorry the answer is yes I'm safe along I used photo privacy.
