A reader asked me if it is reliable to buy things on eBay. Today I will tell you how to choose a reliable seller on eBay. Friends who are interested can take a look!

1. The official eBay flagship store of major e-commerce companies is the first choice.

2. It is recommended to choose a Top Rated Plus Seller. There will be a gold icon in the upper right corner of the merchant information.

Note: To be a Gold Seller, the seller needs to meet very strict conditions. The cost and risk of cheating by spending money to brush credit are very high. To become a Gold Seller, you need to meet all the following conditions:

Sales requirements: Complete at least 100 transactions with US buyers in the past 12 months; Sales with US sellers in the past 12 months reached $1,000.

Order requirements: In the past three months, at least 90% of the transactions completed with US buyers show that you can upload logistics information on My eBay on time.

Bad transaction rate: During the most recent evaluation period, sellers can only have one or more bad transaction records in 0.5% of their transactions; the number of "eBay Refund Protection" and "PayPal Seller Shopping Security Protection" cases that are closed without being processed by the seller must be less than or equal to 0.3%.

Late Shipment Rate: Sellers must have a late shipment rate of less than 3%.

3. It is recommended to choose sellers with high credit rating. As long as the credit rating reaches 10 or above, you can get yellow credit rating stars. The more positive credit ratings a seller receives, the higher the credit rating will be. The color of the star will also change as the credit rating increases. The following are eBay's credit rating criteria:

For all sellers, users can click on their credit score to see in detail the seller's transaction volume, praise rate, feedback, membership registration time, etc.!

A: The percentage of positive reviews received in the past 12 months. Calculation method: Divide the total number of positive reviews by the total number of credit ratings (positive + negative), excluding neutral reviews.

B: The total number of credit ratings (positive, neutral and negative) the seller has had in the past 1, 6 and 12 months.

C: The seller's detailed evaluation. 5 stars is the highest evaluation and 1 star is the lowest evaluation.

D: Buyer’s evaluation of the seller.

Note: eBay will take different measures against accounts with false credit, including:

Remove the product from the shelves.

Forfeiture of the seller’s eBay security deposit.

Limit account access permissions.

Cancellation of "Gold Seller" qualification

Freeze the account.
