Top Rated Seller & eBay Dissing Great Sellers

While we were planning to always keep this blog as positive as possible - for the each of the topics we write about but we no longer feel we can do that in regards to eBay because we are really disgusted. There is nothing positive about the new changes that will be implemented over there.

We are very discouraged and hurt by eBay's new Top Rated Seller program. Us and many other sellers who have been PowerSellers for many years and who have high ratings and very good to exceptional DSR's are going to suffer in October.

Since the announcement of this new program, we will no longer be considered a top seller at eBay. After all of this time and always having 99.9% feedback or higher and great DSR's, we are no longer a good seller in their eyes.

Why? We keep wondering if this is just another way to pad things up for the "Diamond Sellers". After all, it has been noted by many people that not only has the feedback been corrected for these "Diamond Sellers" but their DSR's have also been doctored.

We have searched and searched and could find no other reason for this ridiculous program. Looking at all of the sellers that will be disrespected by eBay with this program is really upsetting.

If the economy and all of the other eBay changes haven't caused our sales to drop far enough, now we will be dumped into the bottom portion of search while paying fees that the "Diamonds" do not...

To us, this is the ultimate disrespect of great sellers by eBay.

Disgusting!

Enjoy Diamonds... someday eBay will turn on you also.

And as a side note:
What is really funny is that some eBay members who have been inactive for several months qualify for this new Top Rated Seller program and they never lost their PowerSeller status during this time (they should have according to eBay's policies and sales requirements). It would be nice if eBay would explain that one.
