I have noticed that even when I run to the post office immediately following any payment (1/2 hr drive) that I am at the mercy of the delays caused by the shipper and this has been reflected in my shipping time in my DSRs. This isn't really fair for international sellers who have enormous delays in shipping which are caused by border delays and transfer onto the USPS system. International shipping feesare much more costly than US fees. The buyer is very concerned with shiping fees and delays. They are often easily upset about what would cost 3$ to ship across the US within 3 days, but 10$ to ship from Mexico or Canada, or 15$from Australia or UK. Again it appears that ebay is putting all its eggs into the same basket with these 2 DSRs concerning shipping. There is another alert that comes up when ebay assumes a seller is putting a shipping fee in the auction which is too high. How about me for example. I live45 minutes drive from the closest PO. I do NOT use UPS or other carriers due to high volume of loss and dammages I've experienced in the past so I fall victim to high fuel prices and shipping delays because I sure won't go to the PO every day to ship out 1 battery sold with free shipping.I'm not 100% sure, but ebays shipping policy doesn't really reflect on these issues,and for DSRs to drop as much as they do as a result of the 3rd party, it might be something ebay would want to remodel so that sellers dont get burned as bad. Especially the little guy. Since the DSR system has come out and the new feedback system, most sellers rarely see any feedback. People seem to be in fear of leaving it and in some cases they use a positive feedback but hide their nastyness within the DSR system instead of getting informed. Unfair! I say, and I'm sure in time ebay will agree. I thought ebay has diversified into an international system but it still appears that it is all based upon the USA shipping systems. Its gotten to be so bad that handling fees are balked at and expected by the buyer that this fee comes out of the sellers end. who is making the money? Ebay, paypal, shippers, and unless the seller is selling new items in high volume, the flea marketeror garage sale ebayer is suffering...... Now, I am told that the revenue system want to know what us garage sale type ebayers are pulling in so they can tax us? Do you see IRS running around every corner on sundays to see what the Jones's are selling in that days garage sale? Do they tax the USA ebay flea marketers or garage sale types? Why the discrimmination? I'm pretty sure ebay starts letting the IRS into everything we sell then ebay will meet its end. Sellers lets pull together. Under the A-Z index in the S section find Suggestionsn and make them to ebay so they can revanp this idiotic DSR system. All the suggestions are reviewed and ebay will have to make changes.
