Star Seller Badge Removed

My Star Seller Badge was removed due to lower "Speedy Reply Rate".

I am totally committed to customer service and respond immediately to any issue or request.

I ask that you review my response rate for the last 3 months. I believe there is an error.

Thank You

Andrea

Re: Star Seller Badge Removed

you are speaking to other sellers here. Not Etsy.

There are some admins, but this isn't their task.

Suggest you send a message through the help area in your shop manager. Good luck.

Re: Star Seller Badge Removed

If you go to your SS page & download your message history csv, are there any messages listed that you didn't reply to in time?

Re: Star Seller Badge Removed

Unfortunately, the Etsy staff you'd need to contact for help does not read the forums.  I'd suggest downloading the report to find out what conversation was missed. It is possible there is a mistake by either party.  There has been Etsy issues with their messages. 

I loose the star periodically.  In the past it was due to in-person deliveries.  Now, all my local buyers are purchasing direct so this is no longer an issue.  But, I will very likely loose the star in June due to shipping companies no longer updating their deliveries.  I expect many of us will deal with this because our shippers are experiencing problems. Etsy's star program is not always a representation of a good seller.  Many strong sellers don't have the badge.  And since the program is basic and does not accomodate for issues outside of a sellers control, sellers will loose it.  So far, having or not having the badge has not impacted my traffic or sales.  I hope sharing this helps. 

I'm sorry this happened.  After downloading the report you can reach out and chat with Etsy.

I would suggest to download your CSV file (for the previous period, February 1–April 30, 2025) and see what it says. Any messages not answered within 24 hours?

Download the CSV as suggested. Are you aware that you have to mark spam messages as spam? And that messages to you as a buyer count too?

Etsy will not adjust anything having to do with star seller.

Re: Star Seller Badge Removed

There is no "reviewing" anything. Etsy has directly said they will not alter metrics or retroactively award the Star.

It is all MATH, run automatically run by bots.

Better luck next time.
