TRS requirements are being stiffened. I have no problem with that, but, as usual, the implementation has side effects.
One of the stiffenings is that 90% of one's sales must have tracking information posted to Ebay within 1 day of payment. That's fine with me in general, but apparently there is no way to designate a sale as "local pickup", which of course has no such tracking information. Freight might also be similar, depending on whether the freighter offers qualified tracking.
Such sales are scored as "slow shipping", and threaten one's TRS status (and discount).
Solutions:
1. just make sure that your non-trackable sales don't exceed 10% (or, to be careful, 8%)
2. Don't mark the item as paid.
3. Create a 2nd account which never will achieve TRS status. Sell all LPU, freight, and other out-of-favor items on this account.

My customers LPU all the time. As soon as they do I write "PICKED UP MM/DD/YY" for tracking info at eBay.
ReplyDeleteCool.
ReplyDeleteDoes that popup when you bring up your dashboard show you at 100% compliance with that requirement? I show a strike for every LPU, but I did not enter anything into tracking.
I imagined that maybe they checked it for qualification, but this sounds good to me.
Hmmm . . . that I'm not actually sure. I have 96.05% (146 of 152 transactions) which could mean that those few that were LPUs did not add up.
ReplyDeleteAlso correction for above, should say
"PICKED-UP-MM-DD-YY",
"/" character does not work.
OK. More research needed.
ReplyDeleteNext LPU, I'll note before and after, and report.
Thanks for participating, Oleg.
