I thought I’de post this question in the forum so everyone can have a read.

In Ebay, I hold top rated seller status, all my stars are 4.9/5.0.

If I have an older listing, would Ebay be advanced enough to have a specific DSR rating for that particular listing, or simply the seller as a whole? Does the actual listing specific feedback influence it’s position?

Howdy,

Now that’s a curious one.

I’d say probably not currently, BUT eBay’s search project cannot be that far off called Cassini, see here for some background on this http://ebaystrategies.blogs.co…..ssini.html

If we consider a few factors that are ranking a listing, such as:
- Time left
- Price
- Number of views in search results
- Number of click through’s
- Number of sales

If we wind back eBay’s “Best Match” to what its supposed to do, provide the customer with accurate and quality results for their search term(s), then it would sensible to assume that eBay would be thinking that the DSR ratings left for a specific item would also be a good indicator on the listings quality, not just the seller as a whole. Although I just suspect that its the seller as a whole currently.

That make sense?

Matt
