There is alot of info on the feeBay website. You can most likely answer your questions here. http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/sellinglimits.html |

Its not your overall dsr rating . You need to run some reports on your seller dashboard to see if you have any sales rated 1 or 2. |

Yeah, it's a shameless plug... but these simple stickers help me (and my customers who buy them). Without pestering *your* customers for feedback, a friendly reminder helps them to understand the importance of positive feedback and 5-star DSR scores. |

I never ask for feedback and I never leave feedback unless the buyer has less than 10. Right now I have 5's all the way. Secret? Just fast shipping, no bs in the description, no gouging on shipping costs, answer all questions quickly and truthfully. To me feedback is redundant since you cannot really leave feedback so I quit leaving it. I don't worry I just sell. Can't help what ebay does anyway so just. |

Here's a suggestion on how to avoid the selling limits problem: Stop depending on eBay as your selling venue - they don't really want you there if 3 low DSRs are going to cause you to have selling limits imposed because if that hurts you, you are not important enough to THEM for them to care whether you ever make another dime. They have been giving you clues for years. Why do you fight it? Find a venue appropriate to your product where they will welcome your business and move it all over there - devote all of your effort there and use Freecebay if you must during the transition time for a little cash flow, but devote the lion's share of your time to the welcoming venue. And avoid ones that charge massive fees like Fleecebay. |

My advice OP is, ALL of the extra STRESS and hard work you are going to have to put into raising your DSRS to get the limits removed, and then the pressure and stress you will find yourself under to get and maintain a TRS status, that time and effort can be better spent into setting up in other MANY other venues and your own site. |

I HAD to do this 2ce (almost lost my business both times) 1st it was 4.3DSR in S&H (1st bad rule change) then the 1-2% rule I was severely punished with 4000 items in my store - they raised listing fees up 400% :: ( on S&H 1st rule change) I had to stop selling to all overseas customers (thats changed now) on the 2nd I literally kiss every buyers butt (just like ebay wants!) Now the Buyers ''alway'' right & I give a full refund no matter what - that took all DSRs/neg to a very low level that I can stay in business with! (not easy selling used motorcycle parts) but i figured it out as above : WORKS -- dont ever think that ebay actually cares about U (they dont) & never will U just have to play their stupid games!!!!! |

I have said this once, and I will say it again, I do not sell over 300 to 400 items every 3 months, all I need is just about 3 out maybe 100 or so to leave me a 1 or 2 star DSR even if positive feedback, and I may be history |

OMG! There is light at the end of the tunnel. We just got our selling limits removed! We were limited for 3 months. After yesterdays evaluation we are free to list any limit. |
