What happens to your eBay account if your seller level is below standard?

Welcome to my Talking About eBay Podcast. A weekly show where I discuss the latest eBay news, offer advice on running an account and share some stories about mistakes I witnessed former clients making on eBay.

In this week's pod, I reminisce about the time where one of my former clients' eBay account was downgraded to Below Standard. For those of you unfamiliar with what that is, it’s basically the last chance saloon section of eBay.

If you have been consistently breaking eBay’s rules or basically, giving customers a bad experience then eBay will put your account on probation. That is the dreaded Below Standard status. eBay purgatory.

But what happens to your account when you go Below Standard?

Can you ever get back to Top Rated status after such a punishment?

Honestly, I don’t know. It depends on a lot of different factors but I was there when a high volume high 6 figure turnover eBay account was downgraded to Below Standard. Full disclosure, I never got to see if the account recovered but, I was able to see what caused it.

And it might just surprise you.
