eBay defect rate too complicated

I second the micropayments account - was one of the best decisions I made - I'm sure I've seen a thread somewhere in the past that advises at what selling price it works out if it's better for you, I think it also used to be on paypal and it was around the £9-£10 mark but someone correct me if that's changed

Can I have a micro payment on one account and not others ?

Do these rules apply to all sellers or just businesses?

It will apply to all sellers, if you click on the link to seller dashboard it will tell you what you are currently on.

I also think it is about the £9 mark, and that's the price I use to decide whether to use that one or the premier.

I use the two PayPal accounts (micro and premier) across all of my selling accounts and just add the appropriate one to my listing.

Yes, we have 1 micropayment account for 1 of our shops and a normal PP account for the others because of the types of products we sell - just make sure the right PP account is attached to the right Ebay Shop

So I need a shop to qualify for a micropayment account ?

If I remember correctly, you don't need a shop, you just need to register as a business with Paypal

I didn't have a shop when I opened my micro account.

Sorry Charlies_mum, I should have said business, not shop !

I've got shop on the brain lol !
Can't wait to shut it (holiday settings) in a fortnight for my hols - might just take a bit longer opening it back up as I've waited a year for a break and it can't come soon enough :T

It's not an error, your customer's order was late

I never deliver late - but thanks for assuming and writing an whole post based on wrong assumptions

But now you've gone to the trouble - do you have a link to low stars for dispatch being removed if left before the ETA?

I was asked by a buyer for next day delivery. I said i can't - and posted as normal. Pos feedback left with a low dispatch - despite posting early and arriving early.

Ebay say its the buyers opinion of dispatch time that counts.
