Below standard

I have been selling on ebay since 2003. This year my account has gained a below standard status due to 15% late deliveries and 7% cancelled orders. ebay have now applied a final value tariff fee of 6% which has been applied to my payouts. I have removed over half of my stock for sale on ebay as it's no longer economical to sell with this extra final value tariff.

Re: Below standard

If the account you are posting from is the below standard account, you seem to be selling 4 or 5 items a month, which is very low.

 

You have details constantly in your seller dashboard in the affected account - you need to constantly monitor these metrics and take action well before you arrive at a downgrade 

 

7% seller cancelled orders or unresolved cases is extremely high - you are allowed 2% total - 0.3% or max two unresolved cases. You need to change. 

 

Sanctions will increase if no improvement is made within the next two months - you can pull it back quickly if you can improve - post same day - load tracking as soon as dispatched - stop selling items you cannot deliver - ie stop cancelling - respond and resolve all cases opened - do not hope they will go away.

 

15% late deliveries is enormous given that uploaded tracking validated by the carriers website shows date of dispatch which protects you - no tracking or tracking validated by carrier after dispatch date  will count against you - you need to up your game to get above standard - aim for top seller - it will help in the long run.

 

It is I am afraid down to you to improve
