Below Standard Limitation
 

Today, my main account got restricted due to below standard in Global sales, from my understanding they just usually reduced your sales and then if it happened again you went down, Whats the best way of having them either remove the limitation or either change the limitation

And before someone has a go at me for getting in that position, i was selling a product which is cheap and high volume (never again) and got a bunch of rip off artists , proved by the tracking i had sent with a few of the items

Thanks all

Sell something ultra-cheap, that is not likely to cause any seller-side issues, like phone cases, even at a loss. It allows to revive your account pretty fast. I do sell cheap stuff at a loss, as active account is zillion times more worth, than several euros invested into feedbacks and seller performance statistics upgrade. Avoid selling things that can be defective in any way, especially, cheap electronics. Only "dumb-and-simple-as-a-table" items.

Looks like happen to many sellers
Happened to me on one of my accounts.


There is no way...These DSR are just a killer. Been so many years on eBay and can tell the worst ever invented thing on eBay is DSR ratings.

Cheap fast sales with free shipping will get you the feedback

I sold so many low items on this account to bring it under control.

Still what buyers do. Open a case for 1p, 0.99.
What's wrong with these people.

The fact is end of the day. No matter what you do or try, the DSR ratings are biggest flawed system on any selling platform.

Look at it this way, I am happy selling 10 to 20 items per week
Takes few buyers to ruin it. What does a seller do to matain these defects rate.
Sell, sell and more selling. We lose out but who pockets the money eBay.

I have been on eBay over 11 years, I am near giving it all up.
The stress and panic you go through with these DSR are not worth it

If all sellers just boycott it for one day.....can you imagine the outcome
Voices have power.
eBay has Monopoly, they know so they boot anyone off has they wish.
They have ruined people businesses, life's.

Hate them.

'End of the day..' you need them more than they need you.

Play the game and beat them. DSR was always going to get harder, eBay set the rules and tbh if you're not on top form 100% of the time, it is game over for you.

Agree Callidus.

Stealth is good. One account down, other up on the board.
The game is to beat them.
This all still gets stressful and overwhelming.

If eBay just play fair and square majority of us won't have to the other way.

Consumers have rights, but on eBay they are given power.

I get what you saying. You can be top of the game, but DSR is just not working.
Have real accounts. What's the point having them when I am scared to touch it.
The fact is what I hating.

Small sellers makes eBay. These loyal customers are treated with no respect at all.

Unfortunately i completely agree! once of twice a month i just do a mass building accounts, make as many accounts as possible but safely and then another day to make the documents needed, unfortunatley I'm having troubles making the passport.

Thats just the eBay life.
