GREAT news from eBay!
It looks like they’re finally clearing the way for small-to-medium-sized sellers to make money again. FYI, here’s a quick rundown of the changes they’ve just announced.
Starting in September you’ll get better exposure in eBay’s search results AND get a 20% reduction in fees if:

- you’re selling $3000.00 a year with 100+ sales
- you don’t get 1 and 2 ratings on the Detailed Seller Ratings
- you maintain a 4.6 or higher DSR average
You’ll also be rewarded if your listings have a high conversion rate — in other words your listings may not get a lot of views, but they consistently sell your items. Good news for sellers who take time to write a good title and item description; bad news for the giant Diamond sellers that don’t bother because they’ve got so much inventory!
Our eBay Mentoring Team are really excited about these changes. They say the just-introduced Top-Rated Seller designation is “realistic and achievable” for people who follow our system and use our strategies.
Coincidentally, we’ve just released the brand-new, online version of our Insider Secrets to Selling on eBay course. It’ll cover all these changes (the big advantage of being online instead of in a book) and any new ones eBay comes up with.
So if you’ve been frustrated with eBay lately, NOW IT’S A WHOLE NEW BALLGAME!
After a couple of years of making it harder and harder to make money, it looks like eBay is rewarding the sellers who made it such a powerhouse in the first place.
What do you think? Is this what you’ve been waiting to see on eBay?

Many thanks for this article. I would also like to convey that it can become hard when you are in school and simply starting out to establish a long credit rating. There are many individuals who are simply trying to make it through and have a lengthy or favourable credit history are often a difficult point to have.
But wanna state that this is invaluable , Thanks for taking your time to write this. “I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue, than why I have one.” by Cato the Elder.
