·         When you rate my transaction, please remember that eBay asks if the shipping costs were reasonable. They mean, did I overcharge you or charge a lot more than the Post Office charged me?  Was MY handling charge reasonable for the fragile and delicate item you purchased and the way it was wrapped and packed? They don't mean are shipping charges in general reasonable because even eBay knows the Post Office, and all the rest are out of my control.    So please evaluate that DSR star on WHAT I charged, not on what the Post Office charged.

·         When eBay asks about the shipping time, they mean how long from your payment until I put it in the mail, NOT how long did it take the USPS or other delivery service to get it to your door. So please look at your payment day and the date of the postmark.

·         Before your item is shipped you will receive an e-mail as to the date and time of shipment so you can better track the package. Most   items are shipped next day after payment, some cases in two or the same day if payment is received early.

·         We think we give 5 star Gold services and do a 5 star job of getting your item to you at the most reasonable rate. We'd like to think we deserve 5 stars for every category when you rate us.  AND if you don't think so, we'd like to hear from you BEFORE you do the rating to see what we can do to improve that score. Thanks for taking the time to rate the 5 star processes.
