Hello *******
After evaluating your seller account, we're changing your seller standing to Below Standard in the eBay.co.uk performance programme. This account will remain Below Standard for a minimum of 1 month, after which it will be evaluated on the 20th of every month until your performance improves.

Based on your ratings, we recommend that you focus on writing better item descriptions in your listings, and dispatching your items promptly and informing your buyers.

Writing better item descriptions for your listings
Buyers rely on the information in your listing description to decide whether and how much to bid or buy. To better manage their expectations:
- Write simple and clear descriptions, with no misleading or conflicting information.
- Use original rather than stock photos.
- Provide details regarding the condition of the item, and explain any defects or flaws fully.

Learn more about how to improve your ratings with better item descriptions.

Dispatch your items promptly and inform your buyers
Dispatching your items promptly allows buyers to receive their items more quickly, and leaves them more satisfied.
- Give realistic dispatch times in your listings to set buyers' expectations.
- When possible, post within 48 hours to fulfil standard online shopping experience expectations.
- Update buyers once the item has been sent and upload tracking information to My eBay straight away.

The number of low DSRs (1 & 2 ratings) is what triggers this rather than DSR scores or feedback.

How many low DSRs does the account have?

At guess you've a few idiots leaving 1 star for Item As Described but still left positive feedback.

I had this last month on my trs account .
Was evaluated 12 / 13th cant remember exact day then dropped to below standard as i had 3 neuts in previous month .
Account then went back to trs on 20th of last month.
Then low and behold yesterday its back to below standard but account stats have not changed from last month as i pulled the listings last month in my anger for them dicking me about.

I should really quantify would I said previously. It is a few low DSRs that is USUALLY the cause of this but as Bruce has said, neutrals, negs etc all play a part too.

[they_screwed_me_too]

i will fill you guys in when ive spoken to the lovely people
