Well my Dashboard is updated with today's eval!! How is everyone else's Dashboard? And it is still the 20th.

And that's probably how it happens every single month. It's just that either no one notices, or they are already aware that it could update any time of day, or they don't start a thread about it.
To the OP: @red_daredevil
Please come back and let us know whether your evaluation updated on July 20 or if some kind of problem caused yours to still not update.
We hope the OP comes back to update, but sadly I'm seeing many OP's who don't return, after reporting problems here and getting frustrated with all of the ongoing issues on the site.
While that certainly can be one reason, it is far too often something different. Often they realize that they over reacted to something or didn't want to answer the questions ask of them. But yes it can be out of frustration too. With the site or the posters reactions to what they perceived as an issue.
In this particular case, it was NOT a glitch of any kind whatsoever and just the way the Eval is done in stages. It's a big site with well over 25 million sellers worldwide. Ebay did what they said they would do, which is eval sellers on the 20th. They did that and the results were posted before the end of the day. Normal stuff.

I don't think the OP overreacted at all. They shared a valid concern, about something I also felt did not provide the true and accurate information (see my prev. post).
No-one should be made to feel that their concern isn't meaningful or correct. In my opinion this concern is 100% valid.

I agree. Just think what would happen if the whole shooting match was attempted to be updated all with the same keystroke.
Should it be possible? Well perhaps. I am not IT savvy enough to know if it is even possible someplace other than at eBay, but my preference would be for them not to attempt it. Talk about a "crash day" 🙂 It would be epic. I will wait until the next day and not be concerned.
Such a good point. If it didn't crash the site, could you imagine how slow it would be to respond.
Ebay has been doing evals like this for years, most understand what the Dashboard is telling us, but for some there will always be a bit of confusion or a learning curve until they get use to how things are done / updated on the Dashboard. But as we know, that doesn't make it a glitch.
It simply makes it their misunderstanding of the process. That can be a hard pill for some to swallow and the problem must be elsewhere.
But at least now the OP knows how it works and next month should be easier on them.

There is absolutely no shame in raising questions & concerns, but it is shameful how some will jump on every post with a question or concern by parroting the same old song and dance about how ebay is useless, hopeless, (fill in the blank), when they really have no idea how some things work.
I find this to be the complete opposite of being helpful, and really, quite shameful. Maybe some that do this have an ulterior motive -- shorting the stock maybe...
