Below Standard - what is next?
 

hi to everyone,

Would be great to hear somebody already had this situation.

My Ebay Acc is below standard for the 1st month.
Problem - handling charges.
When can I expect ebay to take actions on the acc? (Now or after few month?) How much time i have? did they sent warning messages?
if i will stay in the "below standard" area for a 2-3 month what should happen? selling limits? anything else? at the moment i have no limits for sale.

This ebay acc - 5years old, over 99 proc positive, over 500 hundred feedbacks left.

all other low ratings are ok, except shipping and handling. policy - high, silver power seller. if i get one more low rating for shipping and handling that will take a year to meet ebay standards again. so i am affraid and want to avoid this. because if do not receive more low stars next evaluation will be ok for me and i will meet ebay standards again. i suppose i need to leave this acc for a while? what do you think?

And in addition: is it risky if you have 2 stealth acc (everything is diff, ip, cards, pp and etc) and somtimes you send payments between diff paypal acc that one of it is linked to 1st ebay acc and other to 2nd (not regulary, 1-2 times per month) can they be linked? always diff ip and etc.

and if you put the same EXTRA shipping address on both ebay accounts? just those ebay acc has nothing the same but only 1 extra shipping address are the same for both. is it risky?

Thank you in advance.

Low ratings can take 3 or 12 months to fall off your assessment depending on your selling volume.

Sending money between stealth p/p accounts is a big NO, it is a definite link.

Same additional address is also a link.

Not that difficult to see the obvious really :nono:

hello,
2 and 3 - clear
1 - i know how much low ratings can take. i just want to know if acc is below standard for 1st month with only 1 position which does not match ebay standards can i be suspended? receive selling limits? i wonder if you all have more experiance with this and cantell when ebay takes action on the account, 1st month below standard, 2nd or 3rd? or mabey they can leave you selling over and over and will not pay atention on account with below standard and red triangle for years. if you do not match only let say shipping and handling section. i am concern because i have good acc in all position but i am bad on this section and if i get one more low star in this position i will need many good stars to meet ebay reqiurements again and that can take half a year or more.

from my experience once you fall below standard it is USUALLY the death of an account within 2-3 evaluations
because you practically invisible in the listings

list lots and lots cheap items that you have to offset the bad ratings

if your only problem is the S&H then you may have a chance

First thing is to workout WHY you got this and take steps to prevent it happening again.

Unless you lift up your game you'll have no account.

Dont be silly enough to transfer between paypals.

Here's a word to learn, link. Bad for accounts:juggle:

Agree. Fix the issue, s/h doesn't sound hard to fix.
I have 2 accounts below standard, and PP post 21 days hold on my payments for couple of months, but now they all come back, one of them actually become TRS now.
So .. don't panic, take care of the issue, and be careful about the item you list, you should be fine.

Best to begin building new fresh unlinked stealth accounts PRONTO.
