eBay Top Rated Seller!

[CKB]

(edit: apologies in advance if you see this as a self-promotion thread - not my intent)

 

I just noticed that my listings have been tagged with a "Top Rated Seller" notation!

 

Take a look at the store listings down the bottom in this search.

 

Anyone else get this designation? I'll have to look into what I've done to get it!

 

I must say I like the way it looks and works. As long as it's not easy to get, it could give those of us who try very hard to perform well on eBay a bit of an edge. Of course, when I get a joker or two who blow up my ratings, I'll be singing another tune.

Nothing you shouldn't be doing anyway.

Quiet, you. Although that's most assuredly true.

Are those glass or plastic?

If you hover over the icon it says 'Get fast shipping and excellent service when you buy from top-rated sellers.'

 

Maybe you give fast shipping and an excellent service?

I'm still trying to figure out why I am NOT an eBay "Top Rated Seller". It seems to me that I meet all of the criteria to be designated as one.

They are glass. But don't buy them from me if you are in the US - buy them from user silverandbronze (the manufacturer/liscensee) directly at his website, www.toontumblers.com. If you are from out of the country then I'm your best bet.

My DSRs are all 4.8 or above, but I don't sell in quantity so I'll never get it I don't think. I don't know if it applies to eBay UK anyway.

Could you link / post the criteria?

If you scroll down to the store listings, you should see a "top rated seller" icon right next to (to the right of) the item title.

Apparently in my ebay world you are not a Top Rated Seller, I don't show that icon at all. Maybe a browser issue.

Here ya go:

 

 

New eBay Top-rated seller status: It's not sales volume that distinguishes quality of service. That's why, starting in October, a new PowerSeller status—eBay Top-rated seller—will highlight and reward those sellers creating the best buyer experiences.

 

eBay Top-rated sellers will earn top rewards: 20% fee discounts, exclusive promotion in search results for Fixed Price listings, exclusive ability to purchase Featured First, and a prominent Top-rated seller badge on their item pages.

 

PowerSellers of all levels, from Bronze to Titanium, can qualify as eBay Top-rated sellers if they have at least 100 transactions and $3,000 sales in the past year, and low DSRs (1s and 2s) on no more than 0.50% of all transactions with U.S. buyers on each of their 4 DSRs.

 

To ensure that lower-volume sellers (fewer than 400 annual transactions) can be included as Top-rated sellers, two instances of 1s or 2s on each of the four DSRs will be allowed before the 0.50% requirement is applied.

 

The time period over which a seller's low DSRs are evaluated will depend on sales volume: For sellers with 400 or more transactions over the past 3 months, it's 3 calendar months. For all other sellers, it's 12 calendar months.

 

Until April 2010, the current PowerSeller discount structure based on average 30-day DSRs will also continue: 20% for 4.9; 15% for 4.8; and 5% for 4.6. PowerSellers will continue to get those discounts through April 2010 as long as they continue to meet the 30-day DSR requirements. This gives PowerSellers eight full months to keep those discounts while they evaluate and adjust their business practices to meet the new requirements.

And I just figured out why I'm not included (at least for now). Over the past 12 months, I've apparently had 1.62% of my buyers give me 1 or 2 ratings on shipping time. The maximum allowed is 0.50%.

In layman terms, it means quality will now count over quanity.

Or quality means jack if you don't sell enough to make eBay loads of cash

[Not*Sure*]

Hard to make loads of cash when you getted fee'd to death

I don't see it either... but it's not October yet. You must have hit one of the eBay test server farms.

 

Amazon does the same thing with their beta testing. They'll do limited live testing before the official rollout.

Nearly two pages long and no one said 'Congrats!' So, CONGRATS!

Congrats; I'll also be a "Top Rated Seller" once the icons go live. I got a message about it the other day, but as the others have said, I don't see the icons yet.
