What this notice means

eBay's seller dashboard shows your current level and the metrics driving it, such as transaction defects and late shipments.

Most restrictions lift as performance recovers over the evaluation period; appeals help where defects were outside your control.

Common causes

These are the triggers we see most often for this eBay notice.

  • Transaction defect rate above standard
  • Late shipment rate
  • Cases closed without seller resolution
  • Tracking not uploaded on time

Evidence that carries weight

Genuine records that match the account and answer the request.

  • Seller dashboard screenshots
  • Order and tracking records
  • Case and return history
  • Evidence of defects outside your control

How to handle it

Fix first, then respond once with complete evidence.

  1. Read the dashboard metrics and evaluation dates
  2. Find the cause in order data
  3. Request removal of defects outside your control
  4. Fix processes and monitor weekly

Mistakes that weaken the case

Most failed responses share the same few mistakes.

  • Ignoring the evaluation date
  • Cancelling orders to manage stock
  • Leaving cases unresolved
  • Opening another account

FAQs

When does eBay re-evaluate my status?

eBay evaluates on a regular schedule shown in the seller dashboard.

Can eBay remove defects?

eBay removes some defects outside your control, such as carrier issues, when you request it with evidence.

Is below standard a suspension?

Not by itself, but it can lead to restrictions and, if it continues, further action.

Are you affiliated with eBay?

No. We are an independent case preparation service with no special access to eBay. Every submission goes through the official route, from your own account.

Can you guarantee the outcome?

No one can honestly guarantee the eBay decision. We control the diagnosis, the evidence and the writing, and we are clear about evidence gaps and limits.
