These Are The DSRs Of Our Lives: It's Christmas in July at Birdhouse Books

I love Christmas! It's my favorite holiday, and always has been. As a vintage store owner, I am always so happy when I find vintage Christmas items to share. I know the happiness they evoke and the nostalgic memories they bring.

I'm having a big Christmas in July sale at my store, Birdhouse Books, through midnight on July 28th. Everything Christmas related is 15% off. You'll find my Christmas department here: vintage Christmas at Birdhouse Books.

Here are a few of the goodies I have waiting under the aluminum Christmas tree -- right over there, by the color wheel and the felt elves:

Baby boomer vintage children's book, Feel Santa Claus's Beard:

The Christmas Story, a 1971 Little Golden Book illustrated by Eloise Wilkin:

An unusual Christmas postcard featuring a display of Mid-Century Christmas cards:

Christmas at Home, a 1963 music book for children:

1920's Christmas card with a flapper and dapper man celebrating the holidays:

1943 Christmas card featuring an angel carrying a candle (Rynart card):

Cute Carrington Christmas card (Mid-Century) with a little boy skiing:

You'll find lots more at my eBay Christmas page - hope you'll stop by!

What are DSRs?

DSR:

Short for Detailed Seller Ratings, (on eBay)

(http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/D/eBay.html) DSR is the part of the _feedback_

(http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/D/eBay_feedback.html) _system_ (http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/D/DSR.html#)

that allows buyers to leave detailed ratings for the seller on four aspects of a transaction. These four areas available for comment and ratings include the following:

* Item as described

* _Communication_ (http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/D/DSR.html#)

* Shipping time

* Shipping and handling charges

In DSR the rating system is based on a one to five-star scale with five stars being the highest rating and one star being the lowest rating.

DSRs are the "report card" system that is the bane of an eBay seller's existence and one of the methods eBay uses to control us. Think it works??
