Ebay will most definitely ban for low DSRs. Also they don't just ban for selling counterfeit goods or being a non-paying bidder
They ban for a million stated and unstated reasons.
Many many people have gotten banned for DSRs that would be considered good by normal standards. Many people have gotten banned for reasons unknown to them as Ebay does not have to legally give you a reason to ban you.
Many times when a person gets unfairly banned it's because of some kind of reg flag automatically popping up. Or, they were magically linked to a suspended account. Unfortunately most people that have this happen to them don't even know that's a possibility and so don't know how to fight it.
There are many theories and speculations as to why Ebay is so crazy with banning and suspensions lately but none are proven.
Now back on topic.
NoDivisions assessment on overcharging on shipping on Ebay is correct. For some reason, many buyers are claiming that a handling fee cannot be charged which can't be further from the truth.
A handling fee is 100% legit and allowed on Ebay. However, excessive handling fees are discouraged by putting them lower on the "Best Match" results and of course the star system.
My concerned with this particular seller and why I'm confused as to why she hasn't gotten banned is thus:
- She does have one DSR that seems pretty low. It will probably get even lower as we watch.
- It looks like buyers are reporting her. I would imagine that's a big deal.
- She flat out lied to one of the buyers and said she combined shipping and stated the INCORRECT shipping amount. This is lying and I really have no idea how she can justify saying one amount and charging for another.
