Fall 2015 Seller Update

Empowering Sellers, Accelerating Business

  • More objective standards
  • Centralized selling tools and competitive insights
  • Updates to categories and returns

Simpler, more objective standards recognize sellers who provide great service

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
