DSR rating is something that Ebay brought in about a year ago and it is a little different from feedback rating.  It is left at the same time as feedback is left, but this is the rating when your buyer gives you a rating out of 5 stars for different aspects of the transaction.

This DSR rating will affect where your listing is displayed in the search results and those with a high DSR rating will be displayed first above those sellers with a low DSR rating.  This is worked out on the DSR rating for the category that you are listing in.

When you first start selling websites on Ebay you will have a low DSR rating and so your sites wont show up first in the searches and this can result in a lower sales price for your websites.  If you stick it out past the first couple of weeks until you get some feedback and a DSR rating, then you will see your listings appearing higher in the searches and you will also notice that you will start getting a higher selling price for your websites.

So although your first couple of sales might be a bit low, believe me it is worth just getting rid of some sites at the low price to build up your rating and within a couple of weeks you will start seeing higher prices and better sales.

Once you have a good rating, it is just as important to keep a good DSR and Feedback rating, so remember to always provide your customers with good customer service and keep your customers happy.  You’re feedback does affect your sales and many potential buyers will read through your feedback comments before purchasing a website from you.  So good customer service is definitely a high priority in a site flipping business and if your customers are happy they will likely come back and buy from you again.
