Sellers who will have this status on the platform will have to pay an increased success fee, currently it is 10% of the price of the product without VAT, if it is below the standard it will be 15% of the price of the product without VAT. If the seller fails to improve the status within 3 months of the status change, his account and display of goods on the platform may be suspended indefinitely.
Does only one of the indicators count or do I have to meet all metrics?
In order to receive Top Seller status, your account must meet all 4 requirements.
A seller's status drops to "Below Standard" when at least one of two metrics, the percentage of returns or cancellations, is exceeded.
