* * * * * * The truth about the star ratings * * * * * *
Ebay is making it sound like a 4 is good when it isn’t when it comes to the sellers’ reputation.
Any seller with less than a 4.5 rating is being restricted and even removed from the site!
4.5 is the equivalent of receiving one 4 and one 5.
************************************************************
Communication: Pretty self-explanatory. If they answer all your questions and respond in a reasonable time frame, plus are not rude then a 5 is earned.
Description: As long as all pertinent information is given then it deserves a 5. If they leave out important information then is the time to go lower.
Shipping Time: This is supposed to be from the time paid to the time the seller mails, not the time it takes the post office to get it to you. I keep getting chastised over the Post Office’s performance. I have no control over them and it just isn’t fair!
Shipping/Handling charges: I don’t think all buyers realize how much the costs have gone up. Postage and supplies are not inexpensive. Don't blame the seller because the post office has gotten so high. Also, factor in the cost of material (ie: boxes & tape); even cost of gas to drive the item to the Postal Office.
********************************************************************
When using the stars to rate any seller please take these things into consideration. And please, please do use the stars when leaving feedback. It only takes a few low ratings to make a seller look bad when they aren’t. The good ones bring that back up.

Dislike the best match? Many do not realize that you can pick your own preferences. Both on advanced search and at the top of each completed search is a drop down menu which allows you to chose the way you prefer to search. Just set your preferences and use it once. Back page to the main search page and bookmark it. It should remember what you have chosen and return to that each time you go there.
Thank you all for your time, patience, and purchases over the years!
