Hello,
I note some recent changes on ebay fees and specially the best match default option to search engine.I would like to know what is the reason we are not visible in front pages in search engine? What is the reason from the below mentioned points :-
1) Kindly inform how it benefits to us? We have highest no. of listing on our furniture category but still we are visible in last pages? So should we removed half of our our listings specially the repeat listings if any?
2) With 'Best match' option we note that seller DSR rating also is key for getting on the Top pages of search engine.
Since we are delivering goods by Road cargo which has transit time from 5 to 15 days depending on the city of delivery hence 'time extension' becomes compulsory coz by default delivery time is only 10 days.Hence most of the time we end up receiving LOW DSR rating in 'Shipping time' Category.
Item as described 1.20% 4 0.00% 0 Qualified
Communication 2.40% 4 0.45% 2 Qualified
Shipping time 2.40% 4 3.16% 14 Not qualified
Shipping charges 2.40% 4 0.90% Qualified
Is there anyway that the shipping time DSR can be exempted for considering the search engine ranking?As there is no way we can reduce the transit time nor we can keep on explaining each buyer before they leave feedback about this as most of the buyers on ebay are used to courier deliveries reaching them in 1-3 days hence for them shipping time will be always unacceptable.
We also are not understanding the DSR formula as it takes the Maximum Count 4 limit also as a landmark so basically if we sell more we have more chances of passing the Maximum Count 4 limit so we are penalized by low search visibility for selling more? Isn't only percentage should be taken in consideration if at all?
3) We are still not clear weather our category FINAL VALUE FEES (FVF rate) has changed on not?
Let us know.
