it is just sad to see that eBay-India sellers are worried only about the stats and numbers and they'd rather fight for it in the community court than earn it with their quality of product and service.
has anyone seen how unclear and garbled some of the item descriptions are out there!? true, the buyer should read the full description and then only decide if he wants the product, but whose responsibility is it to ensure that it is in a readable format?? for example, i ran through one of rg_diamonds's listings and i noticed that the actual product description is in a small font text, whereas the word 'reputed powerseller' is in big bold red underlined text. the shipping and other terms and conditions are in even smaller font. when buyer looks for something he goes through several listings...buyer is exptected to have superhuman eyesight to read all the info of all the listings he is interested in.
if the seller's sense of quality is top-notch and he does not try to get away with sub-standard stuff, then his ratings would automatically reflect that, and there wouldn't be too much scope of neutral feedback.
also, if the seller treats the buyer with respect and understanding then that will also be reflected in the ratings. by respect i don't mean treating them like some deity; just with some patience. not everyone is expected to know everything.
again, it is sad that Indian sellers reserve their best attitude for international buyers and are ready to fight it out in the community courts for their ratings rather than give some of their better attitude to Indian buyers.
@rg_diamonds: thanks for letting us know what you really think of your buyers.
