Why is eBay only counting DSRs on transactions with U.S. buyers?
International transactions can be more complex, and there are more aspects of the transaction (like customs) that are outside the seller’s control. This change will allow you to expand your businesses internationally without undue impact on your performance ratings domestically. Note that sellers will still be responsible for service to buyers in other countries according to the new Selling Practices policy, as well as standards for other eBay sites that may restrict international sales if the seller doesn’t meet those standards.
