Keeping your seller account healthy

The metrics eBay watches and simple habits that protect your account.

What eBay measures

  • Transaction defects — for example cancelled orders because an item was out of stock.
  • Late shipments — orders shipped or delivered after the promised time.
  • Cases closed without seller resolution.

Daily habits

  • Keep stock levels accurate so you never sell what you do not have.
  • Upload tracking numbers on time.
  • Reply to buyer messages within 24 hours.
  • Resolve problems before a buyer opens a case.
