As a member of the eBay community, you’ll be able to join discussions, ask questions, and search for answers.
While you use the community, you may receive notifications about your Community rank increasing.
Your rank helps you understand how helpful your community contributions are relative to others.* Each rank on the community appears next to a user’s name and signifies their contributions to the community.
You can view your rank on your profile page, as well as next to your name across the community. You can also see other members ranks in the same places on their profile.
The community ranks are separated into three categories. These are Passive Ranks, Active Ranks and Mentor Ranks.
Passive Ranks are for members who sign in to the community to take actions such as give kudos and read posts but do not take actions such as posting or replying. The ranks classified as Passive are:
Member
Visitor
Observer
Explorer
Active Ranks are given to members who take actions on the community such as starting a thread, replying, accepting posts as solutions, giving and receiving helpful kudos and being a regular user of the community. Earning Badges on the community is a great way to help advance your rank. The ranks classified as Active are:
Contributor
Engager
Conversationalist
Helper
Guide
Ace
Advisor
Specialist
Champion
Guru
Mentor Ranks are for our members who volunteer to be Community Mentors on the boards. They use their knowledge to support peers on the boards. You can see more on the Mentor Programme here. Mentors can earn ranks by starting a thread, replying, accepting post as solutions, giving and receiving helpful kudos and their level of activity. The ranks for Mentors are:
Mentor
Experienced Mentor
Pro Mentor
Genius Mentor
Einstein Mentor
Thank you for your continued engagement and for being a part of the eBay Community!
*It is important to note that ranks are based off community activity alone and are not based on eBay buying or selling activity. The ranks use community actions and do not take levels of eBay knowledge into account.
