How to quickly remove below standard classification

[michaelwiseman]

I recently had to move out of my house and downsize to an apartment. During which some of my items were placed in storage or donated because it was a quick move. I had 6 listings that I could not fill so I cancelled them and refunded the buyers money. 6 out of 206 transactions gave me a 2.91% defect rate. I have always taken care of buyers if they wanted a refund. But because the reason was out of stock they listed me as below standard. Will time and more sales be the only way to remedy this?

Increase your sales volume with positive, defect-free transactions to dilute the impact of the six cancellations. The defects from seller-initiated cancellations stay on your record for 12 months, but their impact on your percentage rate lessens as you complete more successful sales.
