Why is it that each time I gain Top Rated seller, my sales stop or barely any sales? Top Rated seller is not a good thing apparently. Am I the only one?

I thought TRS was based on buyer's feedback and sellers shipping service / timing?
Sounds like from some posts here; it is based on a seller's number of sales / revenue as if a seller is not selling enough and making eBay money, and think they are being punished.
Not sure I can agree with that. That would seem to a very big legal issue if it can be proven.

You're thinking of Top Rated Plus, which is a listing designation (not a seller status, though you must be a Top Rated Seller to take advantage of it), and requires shorter handling times and certain return policies.
To become a Top Rated Seller, you must meet the following guidelines:
No one is being punished, if they don't meet the requirements they're not a TRS, and that's just the way it's always been since this was introduced. Definitely no legal issue, I don't know what would prompt you to even suggest that.
