standard

Top Rated Sellers on eBay.com.au will automatically become Top Rated Sellers on eBay in Canada, France and Italy.

However, the US, UK, and Germany sites have different Top Rated Seller standards, which are determined based on the seller's transactions with buyers in the home countries of the above three sites. Sellers can only become eBay Top Rated Sellers on these three sites if they meet the standards of these three sites. For example, if a seller is registered on eBay.com.au and sells to the UK, when the seller's transactions with UK or Irish buyers meet the standards of the UK site, they can become a Top Rated Seller on the UK site.

Starting May 20, 2017, the tracking information upload requirement for eligibility for Top Rated Seller status will be increased from 90% to 95%.
