Can sellers buy the eBay Premium Service badge?

No. Sellers need to earn the badge. The first step is to complete over 100 problem-free transactions, plus any transactions must consistently get 5-star ratings from buyers. We check these sellers to make sure they’re providing the best experiences.

Also, the seller must offer these additional services for buyers: a free delivery option, an express delivery option, same-day or 1-day dispatch of items and a minimum 14-day returns period.

How do sellers qualify for eBay Premium Service status?

Sellers need to consistently provide great experiences for their buyers and offer a number of additional services within their listing: a free delivery option, an express delivery option, same-day or 1-day dispatch of items and a minimum 14-day returns period.

How does eBay know the seller will deliver a premium service?

We review buyer ratings, and if a seller doesn’t provide this level of service, then they could lose the badge.

How is this different from the previous eBay Top-rated seller status?

eBay Premium Service is similar to eBay Top-rated seller status. However, we’re asking sellers to provide our buyers with some more options around delivery and returns.
