You are the same seller you always were.
Don't let Etsy define you with their badges or lack of badges. A lot of sellers say star seller badges don't make much of a difference one way or the other. The csv will tell you where Etsy came up with their rating ... but it's higly likely to be something that does not make you a worse seller (not putting spam into the spam folder or missing a message from a buyer who used multiple accounts).
