Consequently, eBay members can only see the current level of Top Rated sellers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">It\u2019s important to remember that even though eBay has several Seller Standards programs, these programs use the same parameters to evaluate the seller\u2019s level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Hence, the US program that determines the seller level on eBay.com, the German program that determines the seller level on eBay\u2019s German, Swiss, and Austrian domains, and the Global Program for all other eBay sites measure the same metrics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">So, let\u2019s take a closer look at the Sellers Standards metrics.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The minimum Transaction Defect Rate (TDR) requirement<\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">One of the following two things must happen for a transaction defect to occur:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-color=\"transparent\">The seller must cancel an order because the purchased item was out of stock or because they sold it to another buyer.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-color=\"transparent\">The case was closed without resolution from the buyer after a seller reported an issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">To meet eBay\u2019s requirements, you must keep the TDR below 2% for the evaluation period, either three or twelve months, depending on the number of transactions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Moreover, a seller won\u2019t be assigned the Below Average level unless the TDR is above 2% and transaction defects are detected with at least four customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Managing cases closed without seller resolution<\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">According to eBay\u2019s policies, a seller must provide a solution whenever a customer submits a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/en\/blog\/managing-return-rates-in-ecommerce\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-color=\"transparent\"><u>return request<\/u><\/span><\/a><span data-color=\"transparent\"> or reports that they haven\u2019t received the item.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">eBay steps in to resolve the issue the buyer has raised whenever the seller fails to solve the problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Consequently, a case closed without seller resolution designation means that the seller hasn\u2019t provided a solution to the buyer\u2019s issue, even though they were responsible, and eBay has stepped in to fix the problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">To meet the requirements of eBay\u2019s Seller Standards policy, sellers must have two or fewer cases closed without seller resolution or 0.3% of such cases for the entire evaluation period.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Staying below the Late Shipment Rates (LSR) threshold<\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">All buyers can see the estimated delivery time when buying a product on eBay. The time is calculated based on the handling and dispatch time the seller indicated in their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/en\/blog\/how-to-set-up-ebay-business-policies-for-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-color=\"transparent\"><u>business policies <\/u><\/span><\/a><span data-color=\"transparent\">or listings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">So, whenever a seller sends an item and doesn\u2019t upload the tracking information from the carrier option the customer has selected, eBay asks the buyer if the item was delivered on time. If they confirm that the item has arrived late, the platform will count it as a late shipment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">On the other hand, when a seller uploads the tracking information, eBay counts a shipment as late whenever the delivery scan is after the delivery date displayed to the buyer, or there was no scan of the shipment within the handling time the seller specified.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">A low <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">LSR<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> is necessary to qualify for the Top Rated level, but the high late shipment rate alone won\u2019t push a seller to the Below Average level. Nonetheless, sellers should maintain the late shipment rate below 3% to meet eBay\u2019s seller performance requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">It\u2019s also worth remembering that keeping the <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">valid tracking rate (VTR)<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> high is advisable, as eBay monitors the percentage of transactions where the seller uploaded the tracking information on time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">The VTR varies by product category, and the required valid tracking rate can be as high as 95% for certain categories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>A glance at the Service Metrics<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full

customer complaints<\/u><\/span><\/a><span data-color=\"transparent\"> or how often buyers cancel their orders, Service Metrics measure the seller\u2019s performance based on peer benchmarks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">The platform examines all transactions during the evaluation period to detect those in which the customer either didn\u2019t receive the item they ordered or the item they received didn\u2019t match the description.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Rather than simply displaying the percentages, eBay uses the average rates from sellers with similar activity as a benchmark to determine whether the seller\u2019s Service Metrics are <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">Low, Average, High, or Very High.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Monitoring the \u2018Item not received\u2019 and \u2018Item not as described\u2019 rates<\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">The Service Metrics are only calculated if sufficient data is available, so depending on the seller\u2019s sales volume, these metrics may not be available for all <\/span><a

data-color=\"transparent\"> or displayed in the Service Metrics dashboard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Moreover, other eBay members cannot see these metrics, as they\u2019re only meant to help sellers minimize the instances when sellers fail to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/en\/blog\/efficient-shipping-a-priority-in-online-sales-process\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-color=\"transparent\"><u>deliver products to buyers<\/u><\/span><\/a><span data-color=\"transparent\"> or deliver products that aren\u2019t as described in their listings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">The platform determines these rates by comparing them to the rates of sellers with similar business policies, expected delivery times, shipping destinations, or a comparable number of transactions during the evaluation period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">The sellers are assigned different levels based on the outcome of the benchmarking process. <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">Low or Average ratings <\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">indicate that a seller is performing as well as their peers or better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">On the other hand, <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">High and Very High ratings <\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">indicate that a seller doesn\u2019t perform as well as their peers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">However, if the overall \u2018item not received\u2019 and \u2018item not as described\u2019 rates are below 1%, the rating will automatically be adjusted to Average, even if the service metrics are either high or

As one of the world\u2019s largest online marketplaces, eBay attracts millions of shoppers and sellers across the globe.\u00a0 The ecommerce giant introduced the Seller Standards policy as a way of measuring the performance of its sellers and keeping the customer satisfaction rates high.\u00a0 The performance review is conducted on the 20th of each month and consists of two parts. If a seller had more than 400 transactions during the last three months, the evaluation takes into account those transactions.\u00a0 The platform considers transactions from the last 12 months if a seller had fewer than 400 transactions in the previous three months at the time of the evaluation.\u00a0 Performance is measured in areas within the seller\u2019s control, such as how often items from a particular store are delivered on time or how promptly the seller resolves customer complaints.\u00a0 Sellers exceeding eBay\u2019s performance expectations are eligible for a range of benefits, including the Top Rated badge displayed on qualifying listings and marketplace-specific fee discounts.\u00a0 On the other hand, merchants who don\u2019t meet the platform\u2019s performance expectations may have to pay higher final value fees or face limitations on their selling activities until they improve their performance. Understanding eBay\u2019s seller performance evaluation process As noted earlier, the monthly evaluation process takes place on the 20th of each month, while some of the changes become effective on the first day of the month following the evaluation.\u00a0 Sellers who failed to meet the minimum performance requirements may be blocked from using Promoted Listings, or their selling limits may decrease immediately after the evaluation.\u00a0 The process consists of reviewing seller standards and service metrics for a three-month or twelve-month period and at least 400 transactions.\u00a0 The evaluation of the seller standards takes the following metrics into account:\u00a0 Cases closed without the seller resolution Transaction defect rate\u00a0 Late shipment rate\u00a0 Additionally, the service metrics review measures the number of instances in which buyers reported receiving an item that didn\u2019t match the product description in the listing or not receiving an item they purchased at all.\u00a0 It\u2019s worth noting that the outcome of each evaluation is only temporary and can change every month, so sellers who fall into the Below-Average level can improve their tier by addressing the issues that caused them to underperform. An overview of Seller Standards policy eBay\u2019s Sellers Standards policy uses three major factors to calculate the performance and assign the appropriate level to a seller.\u00a0 These monthly evaluations can have a major impact on the seller\u2019s reputation, even though Below Average and Above Average seller levels aren\u2019t displayed in the seller\u2019s feedback profile. Consequently, eBay members can only see the current level of Top Rated sellers.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to remember that even though eBay has several Seller Standards programs, these programs use the same parameters to evaluate the seller\u2019s level.\u00a0 Hence, the US program that determines the seller level on eBay.com, the German program that determines the seller level on eBay\u2019s German, Swiss, and Austrian domains, and the Global Program for all other eBay sites measure the same metrics.\u00a0 So, let\u2019s take a closer look at the Sellers Standards metrics. The minimum Transaction Defect Rate (TDR) requirement One of the following two things must happen for a transaction defect to occur:\u00a0 The seller must cancel an order because the purchased item was out of stock or because they sold it to another buyer.\u00a0 The case was closed without resolution from the buyer after a seller reported an issue.\u00a0 To meet eBay\u2019s requirements, you must keep the TDR below 2% for the evaluation period, either three or twelve months, depending on the number of transactions.\u00a0 Moreover, a seller won\u2019t be assigned the Below Average level unless the TDR is above 2% and transaction defects are detected with at least four customers. Managing cases closed without seller resolution According to eBay\u2019s policies, a seller must provide a solution whenever a customer submits a return request or reports that they haven\u2019t received the item.\u00a0 eBay steps in to resolve the issue the buyer has raised whenever the seller fails to solve the problem.\u00a0 Consequently, a case closed without seller resolution designation means that the seller hasn\u2019t provided a solution to the buyer\u2019s issue, even though they were responsible, and eBay has stepped in to fix the problem.\u00a0 To meet the requirements of eBay\u2019s Seller Standards policy, sellers must have two<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":65,"featured_media":383253,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9684,9675],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-383252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-analytics-and-research","category-ebay"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.1 (Yoast SEO v28.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Track seller performance metrics to grow your eBay store<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Understand how defect rates and late shipments impact your seller level.
