TRS+ Changed to eBay Premium Service

This was announced a week ago, but I missed it. (http://www2.ebay.com/aw/au/201308.shtml#2013-08-01120251?_trksid=p3984.m2301.l3955)

 

The badges etc that indicate a seller is Top Rated Plus will now say "eBay Premium Service", on listings and in search results. I'm not going to qualify for TRS+ regardless, but I think it's interesting they've gone with wording that (potentially, at least) infers eBay is offering this extra special service standards rather than individual sellers. (The little things do tend to interest me...eventually, even if they don't interest anyone else Smiley Very Happy ). 

 

While I'm here, does anyone know anything about store logos showing in search results? I was looking for something yesterday, and one seller - underneath all their other info - had a logo graphic showing. They were a UK seller, but after googling and checking the UK site for announcements or related forum topics, I couldn't find anything that refers to it (i.e. how you can get one to show, who it's available to etc).

Looks like you are being ignored DG, I haven't noticed any logos but then I haven't been searching for much and I am not going to worry about TRS+ or whatever they are calling it now until nearer November as it is quite likely to change again before I start listing.

 

Their usual trick is to change all the categories just before I re open so I can't just upload all my listings that are sitting in TL waiting without having to edit many of them.Robot Sad

I haven't seen any store logos but I have seen extra postage info showing in search results on the US site.

Smiley Very Happy I didn't expect much response as most people probably don't care what it's called - I guess it just struck me as interesting that if a seller offers / provides deemed premium service(s), the word eBay is there instead of seller. A bit like how they decided to name Click & Send "eBay postage". 

 

All I can say is that I hope we start to get some of those features like promotional postage or logos displayed in search results. Or a cart. Or pretty much anything that doesn't make a bunch of people ask how to get rid of it. Smiley LOL

Well its now September and the changes do not appear to have commenced.  I still have the Top Rated Seller logo on all my listings, and the few that meet the new requirements are no different and are actually buried in best match search results.
