For all the sellers who include (Please give me 5 Stars) DSR notes in their packages.

Well now you can put a informative "Comic Strip" in your packages as well.

Also included is a "Black & White" version to help save your ink reserves.

Of course, all this is meant to be a joke. But it seems this is what we have been reduced to doing. I was told that there really are sellers including this in packages and even a few have it within their eBay listings.

nice one TGMT2

i think this would get more the message across more than a basic note

[GreenBean]

5 stars for this

[GrannyT]

Truly Excellent

Awesome! Thanks - that is a lot easier and more interesting to read than my usual waffle I send to buyers

The question is whether you really want to inform all of your buyers exactly how much leverage they have over you.

Crocus makes a good point. This could be a double edged sword.

Then again, I think the crackhead buyers already know they have leverage. It is the normal, reasonable, buyers who don't understand that 4 stars = disaster in eBayville.

4 stars anywhere else is a great rating. You wouldn't hesitate to eat at a 4 star restaurant. But eBay would have that restaurant closed.

Good point.
But,that's a risk I think I will take.

[hackteck]

I hate this DSR system. It puts alot of pressure on sellers. I usually just send them a msg when I am adding the tracking number reminding them to leave 5 star feedback.

Me too! It is total bullsh*t to begin with.

Is it possible to send a message along with adding the tracking number??
Or do you mean that you do it in a separate message?


So, has anyone tried including this comic strip in their packages and what has the result been?
I'm really curious to know.
Takes quite a bit of ink though... black&white does not look nice.

So I think I will stop.

I will add in a thank you note instead and I'm thinking of including this comic strip at the bottom half of the same note.
And at the back, I will print the invoice information.
Save paper. Save the earth.
