Notes:
Sellers with 400 or more transactions over the past 3 months are evaluated on their transactions with AU buyers from the last 3 calendar months. For all other sellers, the rate is calculated from transactions with AU buyers over the last 12 calendar months.
To measure your overall performance accurately, we count 1 and 2 ratings only if they come from 2 or more buyers within any given evaluation period. If you have more than 400 transactions, 3 or more buyers must leave low detailed seller ratings before they are counted.
Qualifying for Top-rated seller status on other eBay sites
You can become a Top-rated seller in Australia (AU), United Kingdom (UK), and Germany (DE) based on your transactions with buyers in those countries. For example, if you are an Australian seller selling to the United Kingdom, you can qualify for UK Top-rated seller status based on your UK performance rating, based on your transactions with UK buyers.
Australian sellers who meet Top-rated seller requirements based on global performance standards (the same standards used in France, Italy and Canada) will receive promotion in search and the Top-rated seller badge on these eBay sites. For example, if you are a Australian seller selling in France, you can qualify for these Top-rated seller benefits based on your global performance rating, which is based on your transactions with buyers in these countries.
How do I become a Top Rated Seller on other eBay sites?
If you are a Top Rated Seller in AU, Canada, France and Italy you do not automatically qualify for the program in the UK, US and Germany. This is because the eBay Top-rated seller status in the UK, US and Germany is determined transactions with buyers on eBay.co.uk, eBay.ie, eBay.de, eBay.at, eBay.ch and eBay.com
