Yep. Simply block them.

 

'Defects' seem to be a buyers 'mood' - rather than an honest critique of a sale.

 

You can do without the 'moody' ones.

With all due respect Helen, I beg to differ-well, in my case lol

 

If I receive an item that was described as fantastic but is average and a bit meh, is packaged halfheartedly, there has been no response from seller in relation to a question or comment, the seller didn't post for say a week after purchase and payment but handing time and distance should have seen receipt of parcel much earlier and I'm not exactly jumping for joy at the overall transaction, then I would give only 3 stars.

 

EBAY need to recognise 3 stars as AVERAGE and NOT a defect.

 

And I am not going to give a seller 5 stars for an overall AVERAGE transaction-nothing to do with 'mood'.

 

 

Having said all of the above, I rarely give less than 5 stars for everything unless I give a neg, in which case it would be 1 star for everything.

With all due respect you are allowed to.

Not referring to those that use the 'star' system for the benefit of a sale - but those & they are there - that either can't be bothered considering or just willy nilly throw a click.

Given the number of 'positive feedbacks' accompanied by low DSRs there is something going on - have them myself.

Bit like visiting the physio with my OH this morn.

Post total knee reconstruction.

Sweet young thing sits there and asks him 'on a scale of 1 - 5 how would you rate the pain.

Suppose 5 is agony - 1 quite comfortable.

Looking bewlidered I said to him set the scale - when asked again you have something to go on.

Better or worse.

All up if I am happy with a sale positive feedback works for me - why cloud the water - either happy or not - it was my decsiion to purchase.
