I was thinking about the same thing the other day. Currently, the sheer volume of sales has been a saving grace for many, as they can keep up with the minimum requirements for selling without restrictions, or crippling ones, anyway. Item as described and postage time are often the only DSRs I can rate if I buy from a Chinese seller, and they are probably where they often get hit the most in terms of low ratings, so it will be interesting to see if or how the 2% - 5% thing works out for them, as a positive with low ratings is going to affect things a lot more, and any FB / DSR that counted as a defect but was revised, will still be counted as a defect even if it was updated to a positive with 5's across the board.
There's not enough information about the new seller standards in Australia to get a good idea of how it's going to work here yet 😞 but there's quite a lot of info on the US site - interestingly, the feedback percentage itself is no longer going to be a determining factor for whether a seller is TRS or not in the US, only the defect rate.
>"I've never sold to the US, but they have this over there, and I presume that if I did sell over there, that even though the sale was on that site, their system wouldn't apply to me iykwim."
It does. If you list on another site, all their rules and regulations apply to you / your listings as far as seller standards go. If you list on the Australian site but make your listings available to OS buyers, same thing in so far as what buyers in the US see (that is, if you meet the Oz standards but don't meet the US standards, the US standards will apply to your listings as they are seen over there, if they are seen, that is - they won't be if you don't meet the minimum standards).
