It depends where you are below average on your metrics. If it is tracking, be sure to get an acceptance scan on every item. If it is your defect rate, work on describing your items very well so you don't get any returns. If it is late shipment, be sure to get your items out on time and get a scan. Without knowing where you are behind, it is hard to give advice other than sell as much as you can to help your percentages.

Mentor1 month agoI was a below standard seller years ago. I had a Premium store and was a top rated seller. I had 3 packages that never got an acceptance scan. I refunded each of the buyers, but that didn't matter. I was restricted to listing 10 items per month. As the listings neared their 30 days, they were automatically ended. I couldn't do anything with those ended listings so they were automatically removed when they were 90 days old.
I found items I could list for $5 with free shipping. 7 of those items sold the first week. Now I had to wait until the new month rolled around before I could list another 10 items. All of this took several months, meanwhile I was being charged for the premium store. Eventually I became an above standard seller, and downgraded my store to Basic.
