    Good point, although frankly I find it incredibly confusing as to what is relevant where and what is not

    If I'm following the logic correctly, this is rather excellent news, if (like me), you have found that your small percentage of flaky buyers are overseas... more specifically, American. :)

    It is true. On my better account which has pretty much always been TRS, I've had a couple of US problems and rarely sell there, so in the US I am below standard. In the UK and everywhere else I remain top rated.

    Good news then! :)

    If a seller is TRS in UK and everywhere else except the US, due to some flaky buying antics there, does that mean their items will feature lower down the listings table in the US? [I ask because if so, presumably you're less likely to get US sales and therefore less likely to attract further flaky US buyers]
