eBay Sellers Attempt to Educate Buyers on DSRs and FB

Posted Jun-10-08 09:57:29 PDT Updated Jun-10-08 09:58:27 PDT

As with nearly every eBay change, eBay’s introduction of DSRs and feedback changes has created a stir among eBay sellers.  Interestingly, the changes eBay’s made to feedback (and tying search placement to seller performance) are quite similar to Amazon’s feedback rules, yet you don’t hear or see Amazon sellers complaining about the rules.  One has to wonder whether eBay sellers would be as up in arms if there were no ‘seller discounts’ tied to DSRs.

 

The Internet Merchants Association has decided to “educate” buyers about eBay’s new rules and has created these links to do so.  I’m curious as to what eBay sellers and buyers think of this site.  If you’re a seller, would you send it to your buyers?  If you’re a buyer, would you find this site useful?  Do you think this site will have any impact and if so, will the impact be positive or negative?

Thanks for the information. I was contemplating composing and writing a similar letter to enclose with my shipments but was finding it really hard to start. These articles say it all and more. Thank you!

As a long time member of both IMA and Ebay I love it ! Do I think it will have a impact ? Yes I think it will have a small impact and is a step in the proper direction. Sellers should unite and IMA is a great source of advice for me and all the different members. Keep up the good work IMA ; ) !

Great well-written explanations of the DSRs and feedback. I will definitely inform all my buyers. I have received 2 neutrals with over 500+ feedbacks and I am unhappy about the neutral affecting my 100% and receiving 98.7%
