eBay seller performance and defects: what to watch each week

eBay tracks how sellers perform. Small recurring issues add up, so a weekly review is the best protection.

Know where to look

Find your performance dashboard in Seller Hub and read eBay’s current definitions of the measures and standards that apply to you.

Rules, fees and programs change. Treat this as a planning guide and confirm current details in the marketplace's own seller help pages before you act.

Common causes of problems

  • Late shipping or missing tracking.
  • Items not as described.
  • Slow replies to messages.
  • Stock that was sold elsewhere.

Weekly routine

  1. Check open cases and messages.
  2. Look at shipments close to their deadline.
  3. Review feedback and note patterns.
  4. Correct listings that cause repeated complaints.

When something goes wrong

Respond quickly and politely, keep records and follow eBay’s process. Fix the cause in your listing or workflow, not only the single case.
