do sellers know who gave them a low dsr?

[kun-russ]

I bought and paid for an item within minutes of winning an auction. Seller marked as posted the next day, then 4 days later i get a tracking number which says the item was only just recieved at there post office. So can a seller see who gave them a low dsr

If the seller knows how to get the DSR report, then yes they can.

This is a recent change.

It's very easy to figure out exactly what DSRs were left by a buyer, and if anybody leaves me unfair low DSRs, they are not only blocked, but I warn other sellers by naming the buyer in my feedback. There is no reason for any buyer to leave me low DSRs because the item description is always 100% accurate, I post the item the same or next day, and I only charge actual stamp cost for postage (which means I lose money on postage because I don't add eBay's 10% FVF).

Just curious cq, What would you do in my situation?

For the record,i do think feedback should be honest.I wouldn't like something to be marked as posted & sent a few days later.The stars would depend on how long i guess.Even though the seller may deserve to be marked down, they may also have blocked you.

If they had a certain handling time & had other items to post at various times,it may have been an honest mistake to mark as posted.

Dunno,i guess that if you get a funny eBay msg saying something like "this seller is not accepting bids from you at this time" then you will know why you are blocked.

i haven't left any feedback yet. i will most likely leave a positive and mark postage four out of five tars

3 stars & under is a defect so i don't think they will detect a 4 star & i don't think they deserve 5 either.

Mistake or not,sellers will get low DSR if most things aren't perfect.Your seller should watch their posting methods & times in these days of the defect stick.

You probably made a good choice if they sell what you want at price you want & would like to buy from them again.

I've read some upset posts here before from blocked buyers who can't get that item they want from just anywhere.
