Top Rated Seller

[clubesquire]

Good afternoon one and all 🙂

Well, we’ve just been elevated, if that’s the right word, to Top Rated Seller.

What does this mean in the real world?

Do we get a free bag of yum yum Darryl Lea Rocky Road .... lol.

I’ve been in Giru (up near Townsville) for a few days. Up amongst the finest people in Australia. You just can‘t beat good country folk. T’was a bit hard boarding for BRisVegas 😞

I hope you are all well.

Melina.

Well, I hope not everyone sees it that way. I certainly didn’t do any ****holing to get it.

None of us did. It is automatic. You DO get access to the Powerseller board, where you can hobnob it with those sellers who wouldn't be seen dead talking to us plebs (except for a few notable exceptions); much less offer any advice or solutions.

I once saw a PS ask a question. A link to the relevant thread in this board was posted. "I don't look at the other boards" was the reply.

Happy PSing.

Sorry, just a joke in bad taste.

There isn't anywhere else where one can read what buyers have to say... or sellers who have fallen foul of eBay's ever-changing rules. I'm surprised that the PS didn't think these boards were a valuable customer service resource.

The premium badge is different again. For it to show, you have to be TRS, you must offer 0-1 day handling and you must offer free postage (something is telling me there is a 4th requirement). It's been ages since I was TRS on any of my accounts and nothing has really changed. I never had a premium badge because I refuse to offer free postage and refuse to have a 1 day handling time.

Congrats on getting it! It's a chest puffing moment when it appears the first time. Go you!

I lost the free re-lists option, eBay said it was because I was a Power Seller, but because I have 2 other accounts (not PS status) I lost the option on those as well 😢

I never lost the free relists when I was TRS and PS.....EVER. Most people don't. I think you and some others are just really unlucky. EBay always use the excuse it's because you are TRS, but that's not the case. Not for most anyway. You lose them if you have sold over 100 items AND made $12,000 in the last 365 days (rolling days, not a calender year). EBay will try and tell you it's OR, but it's AND.

You also lose them if one or more accounts are upgraded to a business account......and that includes anyone else in your house, whether you own the accounts or not.
