Orders are pending, preventing me from being a star seller!!

[NatureFriendlyPencil]

I have a total of 6 orders this month. So even though I have more than 5 orders, my order appears to be pending. And it prevents me from becoming a star seller.
How to solve this problem?

Ship the orders. Also, star seller is computed over the last 3 months, so it won't show up right away. At best it will count next month.

The 5 orders is a total across the last 3 months, you don't need to get that many each month. 

When was your first sale? You are not eligible until 90 days after your first sale, then it's the first of the month after that 90 days has passed. 

Orders are counted based on when they are due to ship. Etsy does not count orders in process. Even if I received an order today and shipped it today, it would not count towards this month because I have 3-5 days processing. Even if I ship early, Etsy won't look at that order until the 5th day, which would be next month.

Did you have at least $300 in sales?
