How does eBay rank reviewers?

We rank reviewers based on the number and quality of helpfulness votes they receive. Each positive vote adds a point, and each negative vote subtracts a point.

Top reviewers are shown at the top of product review pages. Here are the top levels:

Top 1: Highest reviewer ranking. It’s only given to the reviewer that has the highest ranking.
Top 25
Top 100
Top 1,000
Top 5,000
Top 10,000

If you receive more than 100 helpfulness votes, we'll display a pencil-and-paper icon () next to your name.

We update all rankings periodically.
