    Empowering Sellers, Accelerating Business

    To reflect your level of service and recognize your hard work, performance standards will be more objective:

    • The defect rate has been reduced to two measures
    • A new on-time shipping metric will measure shipping performance
    • Feedback and detailed seller ratings won’t count as defects
