I made a mistake on selecting the carrier a couple of months ago which is affecting star seller.

So in my little town, there is a store that will ship things for you, (found out that just going straight through USPS is way easier later), as far as I knew they were only ups, judging by the gigantic sign above their section. So I shipped a package with them to a customer, and I assumed that it was going through ups, so that's what I put the tracking number in as, but apparently they sent it through USPS, it was one of my first times shipping anything, so I had no idea. Etsy has marked me down for not providing a tracking number, but the one I provided was a working tracking number, just for USPS. This is affecting the possibility of reaching the star seller, and I'm getting close this month. Is there any way I can correct this? I'm pretty sure it doesn't stick on your record for long and I think it goes away next month, I'd just rather not have it on there this month.

No, I'm sorry, Etsy has said they will not change the metrics for Star Seller for sellers. The good thing though is that now you know more and if it drops off soon, it will be a thing of the past!

No, they will not fix or change mistakes like that. It will only affect you for 3 months. 

If you are getting close to reaching SS, then you should know that is only issued on the first of the month. So even if you are close now, the next available date you could get it will be August 1st. If that order is dropping off the metrics soon, then it may not matter and will already have dropped off by the time the next round of SS badges are issued.

You have no star seller badges at all so it's not just that one mistake that is stopping you.

@SelwynsSmitherySo actually what do you think you would gain by having star seller? I got 11 sales last month, I used to get many more than that. I have been a star seller since it started and I am not seeing ANY perks so far. Don't pet the sweaty stuff and don't sweat the petty stuff.
