Detailed Seller's Ratings
Most Recent Posts

Shipping time

While the new Detailed Sellers Ratings are a good idea, I have noticed that although all of my buyers have left positive feedback, most stating that  it was fast shipping, my ratings don't reflect that.  Maybe some expected their items quicker.  Now I noticed while tracking their packages that some received their items super fast, others endured slight delays that were of no fault or error of mine, but of the USPS.

I ship items out as it states in my descriptions, usually sooner, like the same day of payment if possible, yet if an item takes too long for someone's liking it seems they rate the shipping time according to how long it took receive.

As a buyer myself, I understand that there is a difference between the shipping time of how long it takes the seller to ship the item out and the shipping time of how long it takes during transit after it has been shipped.  I can only hope that from here and moving forward that buyers, I myself one who understands, that they will understand this when they utilize the Detailed Seller's Ratings and realize that the rating for shipping time should be based on how long it took the seller to ship an item out, and also keeping in mind when viewing an item's description, to see when items are expected to ship.

So far, selling has been a pleasant, fun and great learning experience and all of my buyers have been perfect to deal with.  There are some who have not left feedback, but you can't please everyone.  I am thinking of doing what other more established sellers do and leave feedback for buyers once they have left it for me after they receive their items.
