weerdsteev Pillar of the Community United States 1291 Posts	Posted 09/04/2013 10:52 am I recently purchased a couple of non-numismatic things on ebay. As I was leaving feedback and DSRs for the two sellers, I was perilously close to pressing the "Leave Feedback" button when I realized that I accidentally gave one of the sellers a rating of 1 for Communications and Shipping. I really meant to give him 5s for both, so I fixed it and then hit the button. It made me realize how easy it would be for someone to unintentionally leave someone a poor rating. If you try to give someone a poor rating on an item's DESCRIPTION, it gives you a pop-up menu that asks you some further questions about why you're leaving the low rating - and that strikes me as a good idea because that should stop you from accidentally messing up that particular DSR category. So why don't they do something similar with the other categories...? Report this Post to the Staff

It also strikes me as odd you could leave positive feedback with 1 star ratings. Report this Post to the Staff

weerdsteev Pillar of the Community United States 1291 Posts	Posted 09/05/2013 09:00 am The ability to leave a positive feedback while also leaving low DSRs allows eBayers to sabotage one another. And it absolutely DOES happen from time to time. It hasn't happened to me but I have a friend to whom it did happen. My friend and another eBayer frequently sell the same kind of coins on ebay. This other eBayer bid and won some of my friends coins, gave him a positive feedback and then gave him all 1s in his DSRs! My friend is pretty savvy and was able to figure all this out - there absolutely IS a way to figure out who gave you lousy DSRs - and put this other eBayer on his DO NOT SELL list. And, fortunately for him, he's such a good, long-time seller that he was able to withstand the low DSRs and not lose his Top Rated Seller badge. Report this Post to the Staff
