Ebay standards Continued

• Overview of seller standards

New way to measure performance rewards sellers providing great service

• Starting with the August 20 monthly seller evaluation, a new measure, the transactiondefect rate (“defect rate”), will replace the current four individual detailed seller rating requirements in evaluating seller performance. This new rating may impact your status.
• The defect rate is simply the percentage of a seller’s successful transactions that have one or more of the following transaction-related defects, the top predictors that a buyer will leave eBay or buy less:
  • Detailed seller rating of 1, 2 or 3 for item as described
  • Detailed seller rating of 1 for shipping time
  • Negative or neutral feedback
  • Return initiated for a reason that indicates the item was not as described
  • eBay Money Back Guarantee (previously known as eBay Buyer Protection) or PayPal Purchase Protection case opened for an item not received or an item not as described
  • Seller-cancelled transactions
• Starting with the August 20 evaluation, to meet eBay’s minimum standard, sellers can have up to a maximum 5% of transactions with one or more transaction defects over the most recent evaluation period. A maximum 2% will allow a seller to qualify as an eBay Top Rated Seller. Only transactions with US buyers count.
• The defect rate won’t affect your status until you have transactions with defects with at least 8 different buyers (at least 5 different buyers to impact Top Rated status) within your evaluation period.
• Just as today, sellers can have a maximum of 0.3% of eBay Money Back Guarantee or PayPal Purchase Protection closed cases without seller resolution over the most recent evaluation period. That means the buyer opened the case, you weren’t able to resolve it, the buyer reached out to eBay or PayPal to review it, and eBay found you responsible.
• Just as today, sellers with 400 or more transactions over the past 3 months will be evaluated based on the past 3 months and sellers with fewer than 400 transactions will be evaluated based on the past 12 months.

In general, the lower your defect rate, the better your position in Best Match search results

• By focusing squarely on what matters most to buyers, the new transaction defect rate allows eBay to recognize and reward sellers who consistently deliver the great service buyers expect—and to identify and respond to the experiences that erode confidence and drive buyers away.
• Buyers won’t see your defect rate. Buyers will continue to see what they see today. But if you maintain a low defect rate, eBay will reward you with an enhanced position in Best Match search results, so your track record for great service can pay off in more visibility and potential sales.

Top Rated Seller updates reward services buyers want most

• Starting with the August 20 evaluation, the new 2% maximum defect rate for Top Rated Sellers will apply. This will replace the four current detailed seller rating requirements that allow for just 0.50% transactions with low ratings. This extra margin—plus the fact that the defect rate will not affect your Top Rated status until you have transactions with defects with 5 different buyers—will help you stabilize your well-earned status and rewards.
• The current 98% positive feedback requirement for Top Rated Sellers will no longer apply as a requirement, though buyers will still be able to see your positive feedback percentage.
• A valid tracking number—meaning a tracking number with at least one carrier scan recorded and validated by eBay—must be uploaded within your stated handling time on 90% of all transactions.

Extended holiday returns required for Top Rated Plus discount and seal

• To qualify for the Top Rated Plus seal and 20% final value fee discount between November 1 and December 31, your listings must include the new extended holiday return option, with returns accepted through January 31. Bullion, Gift Cards, Tickets, and all Business & Industrial categories are exempted from this requirement.
• Same fast shipping and 14-day returns: As before, same-day or one-day handling will be required for Top Rated Plus listings, and a 14-day or longer money-back return policy will continue to be required when holiday returns are not in effect.
• Note, starting in August, all Business & Industrial categories will be exempted from the 14-day or longer return requirement along with Bullion, Gift Cards, and Tickets that are excluded today.

New safeguards for your status and rewards

The new defect rate has many built-in safeguards to give all sellers who consistently provide great service more leeway and stability for their well-earned status and rewards:

• Stronger protection from the actions of just one or two buyers. The defect rate will not affect your status until you have transactions with defects from at least 8 different buyers (at least 5 different buyers to impact Top Rated status) over the most recent evaluation period.
• One measure instead of four. One measure, the defect rate, will replace the current four more stringent detailed seller rating thresholds that allow just 2% low ratings for all sellers and just a half percent for Top Rated Sellers. That means it will be easier for you to keep track of where you stand and you’ll have a wider tolerance margin to reduce the chance that you’ll be impacted by a single event.
• Shipping cost and communication detailed seller ratings will no longer count toward your performance rating. This will protect you from low ratings for shipping cost even though the shipping charges are shown to the buyer right up front when they purchase an item.
• Each transaction is counted only once toward your defect rate, regardless of the number of defects associated with it. For example, if a buyer leaves you a 3-star rating for item as described and a 1-star rating for shipping time for the same item, that transaction still only counts once toward your defect rate. That gives you more leeway and will allow you to focus on fine-tuning your overall service instead of individual buyer actions.
• Cases found in your favor don’t count. Any case that escalates to eBay or PayPal for review and is found in your favor, or found to be no fault of the buyer or seller, won’t count against your performance rating. It won’t be counted as a defect and it won’t count toward your percentage of cases closed without seller resolution.

Keeping other important safeguards for your reputation

These important seller protections you have today will continue to apply:

• Buyers cannot open an eBay Money Back Guarantee case for item not received until one business day after the estimated delivery date.
• Sellers with more than 400 transactions over the last 12 months will continue to have protection in situations where 80% or more of their cases are escalated without seller resolution are from just one or two buyers. In those situations, only one case from each buyer counts.
• Automatic 5-star ratings will continue to apply and will be displayed in your feedback profile in the situations where eBay has evidence of your great service.
• Extra protections are built in for Fast ‘N Free listings.
• You can request that feedback be removed in situations covered under the Feedback Removal policy.
• Top Rated Sellers will continue to have a grace period to keep their status and benefits when they fall below the sales requirements, as long as they meet the performance requirements.

Best practices

Follow these best practices to maintain a low defect rate

• Sell good quality items and describe them accurately to meet buyer expectations
• Specify the correct item condition and use all available item specifics when you list
• Upload lots of great pictures
• Provide all relevant details in your description. Clearly describe and use pictures to show any flaws
• Ship and upload a valid tracking number within one business day of receiving payment
• Provide great service to every buyer to avoid eBay Money Back Guarantee cases and neutral or negative feedback
• Make sure you have the item in stock to avoid the need to cancel a transaction. If the buyer asks you to cancel the transaction, make sure you do so through the eBay cancel transaction process and select the correct reason for the cancellation.
• Always act promptly to resolve any opened cases to avoid escalation

New ebay standards

Spring Seller Update: New seller standards reward great service

This summer, seller performance standards are being updated to reward those sellers most responsible for keeping buyers on eBay.

Starting with the regularly scheduled monthly seller evaluation on August 20, a new measurement, your transaction defect rate, will replace the current four detailed seller rating requirements used to evaluate your seller performance.

Your defect rate is simply the percentage of your transactions over the most recent evaluation period with one or more of the top predictors that a buyer will leave eBay or purchase less, such as an opened eBay Money Back Guarantee case, a return because the item wasn’t as described, or negative or neutral feedback.
The good news for you: As of the last seller evaluation on February 20, your defect rate is projected to meet the new 5% maximum expected of eBay sellers when the new standards take effect on August 20.
A low defect rate is important because it indicates that your buyers consistently receive the item they expect, when they expect it. Buyers won’t see your defect rate, but in general, the lower your defect rate, the better your position in Best Match search results, so it’s well worth the effort to lower it even more.

I encourage you to get familiar with the new performance standards—especially the tips for maintaining a low defect rate.

Track your status in your new seller dashboard
Starting the week of April 16, you’ll get an up-to-date preview of how you’re tracking toward the new standards in your new seller dashboard. Your dashboard will be fully updated with the new standards on August 20.

Where to focus based on your recent selling
In the meantime, based on your recent selling history and the factors included in the new defect rate, pay special attention to these basic services all buyers expect:
Getting their item when they expect it—or even before they expect it—makes for happy buyers. Two of the factors included in the new defect rate have to do with your shipping and handling time: detailed seller ratings of 1 for shipping time and eBay Money Back Guarantee cases opened for an item not received.

To lower your defect rate, always ship your item and upload tracking information the same day or within one business day of receiving payment. Buyers like to see the status of their orders and tracking is always your best protection if the buyer opens a case.

Keep in mind that buyers cannot open an eBay Money Back Guarantee case for item not received until one business day after the estimated delivery date. If the tracking shows the item was delivered to the buyer’s address, the case will be found in your favor and not counted toward your defect rate.
Note, the new defect rate is designed simply to identify transactions where something was not quite right. Each transaction can only count once toward your defect rate, regardless of the number of defects associated with it. When your buyers consistently get the items they expect when they expect them, your defect rate will reflect it—so focus on the basics of good customer service.
Capture sales with easy returns
Recent and future updates to eBay hassle-free returns—including a clear message to buyers on your item page—makes it easier than ever to win more potential sales with your confidence-inspiring return policy.
