Thanks Putney, I had seen that and just sought clarification from ebay too. Seems it is related to Top Seller Ratings/rankings and is more a 'status' thing, you get the logo and so on.

I am pleased normal listings won't be impacted, provided they are within the rules 😉

As a buyer I am very familiar with newly listed, ending soonest and lowest price etc. I honest don't pay much attention as to where a seller ranks.
