Should eBay give all sellers offering free shipping an automatic 5.0 DSR?

Yep, that's my opinion. eBay should give all sellers who offer free shipping an automatic 5.0 in DSR "shipping and handling fees" ratings. I came to the conclusion because on one of my accounts which has now reached 100 feedback, I have a 4.2 rating in "shipping and handling fees", even though I have always offered absolutely free shipping on all listings since day 1.

Well no because they could still take ages to ship

But eBay has 2 DSR sections for shipping:

"Shipping time" and "Shipping and handling charges".

So they could give sellers offering always free shipping a 5.0 in the "Shipping and handling charges" category. Because I don't really see it as fair that buyers can give you a 4 out of 5 stars for "Shipping and handling charges" when you're shipping free.

That would be nice I guess, but come on its eBay! They could care less about their sellers.

VERY TRUE aspkin! I have to completely agree with you on that one.

I think free shipping should be an auto 5 DSR, but... will that mean sellers who charge a fair s/h still not get the 5DSR though?

but either way... after seeing horrible things even to their biggest seller (bargainland), I agree that eBay don't give a damn.
