What affects your Seller Performance Standards?
If you are thinking any action that leads to a Bad Buying Experience (BBE) affects your standards, then you are absolutely right!!!
It is important that you understand each of these Defect Rates and the Best Practices to handle them.
Click on each of them to understand them more.
When a buyer opens an Item Not Received or Item Not As Described case, you have 3 days to fully resolve the issue with the buyer. After that period, if the buyer escalates the case to eBay, you will not be given any additional time to resolve the case. If the case is ruled in buyer’s favor (this is known as Case Closed Without Seller Resolution), you may incur a loss and your rating will go down.
