Default How to figure out the defect rate figures

Good morning fellow sellers...


How do we figure out the percentages for the defect rate, just a bit confused as there is way too much confusion out on the eBay community forums.

I am wondering how we can figure out the amount of new transactions without defects needed to buffer ourselves from being in the red past 5%

Any help with a example calculation would be appreciated

Just take the number of Defects \ total transactions

So if u had 5 defects out of 100 transaction: 5/100= .05 or 5% defect rate

It seems we really need to find something cheap with no issues and practically give product away to invest into an account so its solid in order to hit the 3 month range as the 12 month is killer, at least then you have a chance of riding any defects out. However its counter productive because you will be hitting the tax requirement in Paypal right away, so you would end up burning through quite a few Paypal's to run an account fully stealth to get on the 3 month period.

They really covered all the angles didn't they. I mean what everyone see's know is a 1/10 ratio with these progressive buyers ebay trained to cheat the system and either rent items or simply get them for free.

I bet this is going to make vero/⊗⊗⊗⊗/replica items pop up even more as people try to earn a buck faster and run through accounts even quicker as the defects pile up, some wont even bother to build solid accounts to blend these items in anymore like you see daily.

As of now running x10 60 day old accounts its really hard to try and stay away from defects, just a buyer trying to contact you gets you a case. It will very interesting to see this holiday seasons atmosphere, some will definitely win and benefit.
