eBay<\/a> has millions of users that are buying and selling on the platform. However, there is a stark contrast between sellers and buyers on eBay, especially with the information that concerns both parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an eBay seller, you are obviously aware of how vital performance rating is to sales success<\/strong>. Performance rating affects how much you sell, how fast your items sell, and even whether or not your listings are shown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sellers on eBay must familiarize themselves with the platform’s performance requirements because eBay imposes selling restrictions on sellers who fall short of the minimum performance standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’d like to learn, this blog post is for you. It offers a comprehensive guide to eBay’s seller levels and performance standards. We will also tell you how to achieve or maintain your current seller level, so you can make sure you’re doing everything possible to maintain a high rating. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are eBay\u2019s Seller Performance Levels?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The seller performance level is eBay\u2019s way of measuring the quality of a seller. This allows buyers to shop confidently as they can ascertain what seller provides the quality they need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, eBay offers three seller performance levels<\/a>. These include: top rated, above standard, and below standard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A top rated ebay seller i<\/strong>s a seller who consistently provides exceptional customer service consistently while also tallying the minimum sales requirements. Being ranked as a top-rated seller delineates that you are eligible for the top rated plus listing benefits, provided you meet the listing qualifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Above standard<\/strong> level seller is one with \u201cokay\u201d customer service and tallying the minimum sales requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Below standard<\/strong> level seller with one or more requirements shy of tallying the minimum customer service quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can check your current seller performance level and your projected seller level by simply navigating to your seller dashboard<\/a> on eBay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top rated sellers can also find which of their listings are eligible for top rated plus benefits. Likewise, eBay provides information about how to improve performance levels for sellers whose levels are below standard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

eBay Minimum Performance Standards<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

eBay dictates the level a seller falls under based on two primary factors: the number of recent transactions linked with the seller and the quality of their customer service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Determining the seller performance level is a monthly process carried out by eBay on the 20th of every month. All accounts are not evaluated using the same period\/length of time when eBay does its performance assessment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sellers that have more recent transactions linked to them will get assessed on a shorter time scale and sellers with less will be assessed on a longer one. This definitely makes sense and allows some fairness in the performance standards evaluation. More specifically: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
