By making "allowances" you treat the sellers who work the hardest for the customer the same as someone who does not work as hard. On the 5 star system 3 does not mean you are a bad seller, just that everything works fine or average. For a 4 you have a seller who went the extra step for the customer.

Do get me wrong - it does not mean I won't do business with you, but I just can't treat you the same as someone that ships for free(of course this is just an example).
