To those that are Featured Merchants, how much volume were you selling at the time that you became featured, and what was your feedback like? I'm currently a small guy - ~700 orders in the last 365 days with only ~70 feedback. 3 of those feedbacks are negative but they are from over 6 months ago when I didn't take the account seriously. I now take the account very seriously and have been doing great, with 100% positive in the last 90 days, and soon those 3 negatives will be pushed past the 365 day period and drop from my total rating. The market I am selling in is video games. When I look at Featured Merchants that are my competition, they typically have 1000+ feedback ratings (typically 2000-8000) in the last 365 days, which gives me a pretty good indication of how much I *think* I'd have to grow to be in their league. Also, I currently do not use Fulfilled By Amazon (FBA) but have been considering it especially if I think it will increase my chances to be a Featured Merchant. I know there are a lot of variables that are always different for each seller... do you guys have any ideas on the type of volume and dedication a person must have in order to reach Featured Merchant status, and what I should do to obtain it? Thanks in advance.
