The top-rated seller program doesn’t start until October, but eBay will select a few sellers to display the badge in search results.

eBay announced the Top-Rated Seller program last week.  Unlike the Power Seller program that looks at quantity and high DSR ratings, The Top-Rated Seller program will look at low DSRs (1 and 2 stars). Power Sellers who remain above 0.5% low DSRs and meet other requirements, will earn the Top Seller Badge and a 20% fee discount as well as advantaged placement in search.

eBay will select a handful of sellers to test the badge placement and reaction.

If you want more information about the changes on eBay, please look at our August newsletter that  was posted on the website today at:
