eBay UK Automatic 5 Star Rating for Free P&P

From September 6th, buyers leaving Detailed Sellers Ratings for items with free P&P will automatically leave a five star rating for the P&P charge, providing they paid with PayPal and went through eBay checkout.

It’s what some sellers have asked for, and by offering ‘free’ P&P you can get a search boost.  It also means higher fees for eBay if you add the postage price on to the price of the item.
