Becoming a new TRS, update

From today's seller newsletter, the situation is explained.  It's changing, in June.

The other news: it's now official, Star ratings of 3 and 4 have no negative effect, even in the most hypothetical situation (seller gets a huge number of 3's or 4's, but no 1's or 2's, that doesn't happen in real life).

Note also: the requirement for 100 feedback was removed roughly a year ago.   Everything is now based on transaction count, nothing is based on feedback count.

You could become an eBay Top-rated seller 
Great news! The requirements to become an eBay Top-rated sellerare opening up to include more sellers. Starting in June, the requirements for keeping or acquiring Top-rated status will change:
  • The $3,000 annual sales requirement will be lowered to $1,000
  • The minimum average Detailed Seller Rating requirement of 4.60 will be removed
  • PowerSeller status will no longer be required
  • Tracking must be uploaded to eBay within your stated handling time on 90% or more of your US transactions. Use eBay Labels and tracking info is uploaded automatically!
  • 20% final value fee discount for sellers who ship with 1-day handling and offer a 14 day or better return window with money-back option
