Hello, I was hoping someone could help me understand this. Just over a year ago, I had an issue with my label printer printing off labels to random previous addresses I had sent packages to. It was some kind of bug and I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and the problem stopped. The problem is I sent out several packages to the wrong addresses and I sell one off products not things I have in bulk so I couldn't just send the right people their products and had to cancel and refund those people. This happened several times over the course of 2 days before I noticed the issue and resulted is several cancelations and brought my defect rate up significantly overnight. Needless to say, lesson learned and I always make sure the label printed the correct label now, but I've been dealing with this for a year now and it's destroyed my sales to almost noting.
Fast forward to one year and 3 days later, I will be evaluated on the 20th but my performance says "if we evaluated you today" and it still has below standard. When I first started ebay and got to top rated, it told me on the day I would have been that I would be if evaluated today, before my my evaluation date. I'm confused why it's telling me I would be below average if evaluated today when those cancelations should have dropped off by the 8th and I'm worried I will still be in this spot after the 20th. By the numbers, I should now be well within above standard limits. Is this normal, will it still switch to above standard on the 20th? Am I missing something else? Thank you

I think that they'd be used to evaluate you on the Dec. 20th evaluation, since they're under the 1-year lookback period.

It is my understanding that you will be evaluated on December 20th for the stats that you had for December 1st and the new rating (no change) goes into effect January 1st.
Those should not fall off until your January 20th evaluation to take effect February 1st

I thought about that, but it says on the thing that my last evaluation was based on Dec 1 2022 to Nov 2023. So I would think the next month would be based on Jan 2023 to Dec 2023. I guess I will wait another month as I've been waiting a year, I got an email that said if I don't go above below standard by January they may put restrictions on my account or even suspended it altogether. Seems harsh considering they purposefully make it difficult to make sales and fix the situation. I may try to sell a bunch of old inventory starting at .01 at auction to try and get my numbers up where it puts my percentage down.
