Top Seller programme
If your items are flying out of the door, you might sell enough to reach Top Seller status.
How to qualify
To qualify, you must:
- be 'in trade'
- have had at least 60 purchases of items you have listed, or have made at least $10,000 in sales over the past six weeks
- have a 98% or higher positive feedback rating
- have a sell-through rate (total purchases / total purchases + total unsold listings) of at least 10% over the past six weeks. When we display your STR we show it rounded to the nearest whole number.
Note: only Marketplace listings count towards your Top Seller qualification criteria. Motors*, Jobs and Property listings are excluded.
*'Car parts & accessories' is considered a Marketplace category, so these listing will continue towards Top Seller qualification and receive Top Seller rebates. All of 'Business, Farming & industry' is also included in the Top Seller programme.
