eBay Star Color & Fees

[mintacular]

I have a red star, would making it to green make a difference really?  Lesser fees, more visibility? Is it worth trying to push towards a green or does it make little/no difference? Thansk for your Feedback.

@mintacular  As far as I know, it wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference. There are some advantages to becoming a "Top Rated Seller", but the star thing itself...that makes no difference.

You have 21 active listings.

Number of feedback will not make a difference. Number of listings (with in-demand product) will.

If you're straight up asking about FB the answer to your OP is no.

If you're round-about asking how to increase visibility and sales that answer is more complex, but what I posted above is a starting point.

Next FB star color comes at 5K. With 57 sales in the last 90 days and the low percentage of buyers that leave FB, you have a long ways to go to the next star color. But like I said, won't make a difference in visibility so really doesn't matter how long it takes you to reach 5K.

Actually, the better you get, the worse it is.

As far as visibility goes I think a red star is easier to see. Rumor has it that people who drive red cards get more speeding tickets because cops notice red cars more.

Yes it will make a huge difference.

Green is a much prettier color than red.

I'm sure it would increase sales.   😉

No, makes no difference since your seller performance isn’t based on the amount of your feedback nor the Star color.

Lesser fees, more visibility?

No you can get a discount on fvf when you are TopRated Plus. For that you need to offer free returns and have a handling time of 1 day.  

Is it worth trying to push towards a green or does it make little/no difference?

Makes no difference at all. 

Thansk for your Feedback.

There are different colored stars? Good Lord, I never noticed that! LOL

I guess that wasn't top priority in my world.

Or your world is grey and you're colorblind. Sorry to rain on your parade.

Thanks everybody, doesn't sound like it makes a hill of beans what color your star is

Every minute spent worrying about your eBay star color is a minute wasted that you will never get back. 

That star color has nothing to do with fees or visibility, it is a little ego stroke for the few sellers that even notice it. 

I doubt very many buyers understand or care what a seller's star color even means. I've been here 20 years and I don't have a clue.

I have what I guess is a yellow or gold star. Been here for 21+ years. I don't see a difference in my views, sales, or offers just because of the color of my star.

Maybe I get a price break somewhere. I don't really know. I can't keep up with all of eBay's selling scenarios. 

I know I will not entertain promoted listings. Confusing, more time taken from life me to manage, less money made to pay the bills.

You have a "yellow shooting star" according to eBay:

without going to my selling account and logging in, I couldn't tell you what color star or FB number I have. It's not something I pay much attention to.

[coolections]

I have bought easily over 1,000 items on Ebay. Out of all those items I have never once looked at a seller star or badge. Buyers do not care about that. The only thing you need to concern yourself with is your feedback percent.
