Seller Dashboard Restricted to Those With 10 or More DSRs

Filed Under Sellers' Insights

As part of their system changes for fall 2009, eBay.com has restricted access to the seller dashboard to sellers who have received 10 or more Detailed Seller Ratings over the past 12 months. If you don’t meet these qualifications, this is the screen you encounter when you attempt to access the seller dashboard:

This is particularly significant to sellers who want to access the new search visibility tool that is being added to the seller dashboard this fall. This tool offers more transparancy into the Best Match algorithm which can help the seller rank higher in the search results and earn more sales.

I’m not sure why eBay decided to establish a minimum threshold requirement in order to access the seller dashboard, but the value of the search visibility tool should motivate even the most casual seller to maintain enough sales to use this utility.
