Negative FB IDIOT buyers and the 1% rule
As a former Gold PSer who maintained a 99.9% FB rating with over 3,700 transactions, I must admit that 1st neg FB was devastating.
Bottom line though? Get over it!
The 1% (probably more like 5% now) of the idiots will eventually get you and leave neg FB NO MATTER WHAT. It's just like eBay themselves. Nothing rational about it. Competitor espionage, psycho buyers who won't listen to reason, someone just had a bad day, whatever....it's going to happen.
But if you are an honest seller of good products, good customer service (we replied to emails same day if not immediately), quick shipping (within 2 days MAX - we try for 90% of all orders shipped same day)...........well, you should be ale to maintain 99.8% or better and DSR's in the 4.6-4.9 range (we had some 5.0 for a while). Depending on your category with a 99.8 and DSR's bet 4.6-4.8, your ranking won't be that much worse than your comp. In real niche areas, you only have 3 or 4 sellers, you'll get noticed no matter what your FB is. God forbid you're the ONLY seller. :D WHY WORRY or BOTHER trying for good FB and DSR's? In the end, Fbay one day shuts you down for no reason or a fukked up reason (please check my particular story in the introduction forums). There goes all your hard work down the drain.
The mentally of the sellers must change and not allow the FB nor DSR's to take their emotions hostage with every sale. Fbay has done a great job at brainwashing us. You don't need 100%FB nor 5.0 DSR's. Finaly since there's nothing you can do about the 1-5% psychos, you gotta move on.
