How to Keep Up With eBay DSR’s

Comments
It has been a little while since eBay put their Detailed Seller Ratings into effect, and so far it’s pretty easy to keep up with the flow of things. Nice to keep on top of a good rating, and take pride in your feedback. DSR’s do not impact the overall Feedback Score, but provide a more complete picture of the member’s performance as a seller. You want to strive for 5! Here are some really solid ways to keep your DSR performance high.
Item As Described -
Start at the top and work your way down. Describe your item to the best of your ability without missing any flaws. Also, make sure to use your own photos!! Take a few different angles and close ups and elaborate on them in your description.
Communication -
Very important! eBay has all sorts of email notification preferences at your finger tips – use them! Once an item is purchased, send an invoice, send an email when payment is received, send an email when item is shipped, and you can thank them on the invoice you packed carefully with their item. Keep the lines of communication open every step of the way.
Shipping Time -
As soon as you have a bid, your item should be packed and ready to go within 24 hours. Then, remember communication!
Shipping & Handling Charges -
Specify any shipping and handling directly in your policy so it’s easily found. Offer a shipping discount on multiple items, or free shipping if orders exceed a specified dollar amount. Calculated shipping makes it easy to accurately figure out shipping rates.

I hate being lied to, and if an item was listed as New and was not disclosed in the auction description as smelling of smoke, I will leave negative feedback and an extremely low DSR. Any item that reeks of smoke is NOT new. I never bid on smokey items. Want to avoid negative feedback and terrible DSR’s, Sellers? Then never, ever lie to a Buyer!
