I recently earned the TRS designation on the newest account, this despite only being left 70 feedback out of over 100 transactions, a "soft positive" (item as described 1 or 2 star...wrongly left. I DID mention in the description that the set was missing two pieces. The buyer never contacted me, just left feedback, typical) and a negative for not shelling out $70 of my own money to ship plates internationally when paypal was holding the funds.
My first instinct is to guard the status fiercely, but upon further reflection, I am just going to do things as I've been doing them...with a relaxed laissez faire attitude. If I get an idiot that needs placating, placate immediately as long as they are willing to return it, or let them have it for free if it's a "piddily poo" (read: under $10 item). My livelihood is not worth fighting over $10.
I have accounts set up on Etsy, and Bonanza each are stocked, but with very little movement (75 transactions on Etsy in 2 years and only 9 on Bonanza in a year), and have one with Amazon, but after they raped me for fees after I sold some shampoo, it left a bad taste in my mouth and I won't list with them again.
I also occasionally consign items at the auction house I work at and also sell at fleamarkets during the summer. So I do branch out, but not as much as I'd like.
