It looks like you haven't qualified for any of the badges as none are displaying in your store.  

How to Become a Star Seller – Etsy

[LexiLuLuDesign]

i did for all them if them my thing is 4.9 message response is 98 percent and and ive made over 2100 in sales

[leinweberstudio]

Did you have a total of $300.00 in sales for the period including August, September and October?

You probably fulfilled the requirement of 5 sales during that period, but the dollar amount is much tougher to hit with low-cost items.

[NanaLetha]

@LexiLuLuDesign  There is a $300 minimum in sales - looks like you did not make that.

[LexiLuLuDesign]

ive literally received more then 300 from etsy already in fact my current balance is 656 and before that i received over 400

[LexiLuLuDesign]

@NanaLetha  i 100 percent made that 300 ive made over 2100 in sales what do you mean?

[ArtistiKat]

Happened to me for the second month in a row.  I have more than enough sales and $. 

My rating for speedy replies is 100%, but it hasn't shown for two months.

[ReadingsFromRose]

SO happy to see it's not just me. It was starting to feel personal lol.  I'm on month 3 with it still not showing despite 3 calls and 2 live chats to Etsy messages. It's frustrating and part of the reason I'm leaving the platform. 

[SugarandSpicePaper]

Same. I think it's not working. I contacted support, and they were useless. There has to be some sort of glitch. ANOTHER thing broken by Etsy!!

@LexiLuLuDesign 

it has to be $300 in the last three months,

 was your first sale before August 1st, if not, you haven't done the 3 months for etsy to calculate on.

[NanaLetha]

@LexiLuLuDesign  the $300 minimum would be for Aug-Sep-Oct.

[LexiLuLuDesign]

my first sale was aug 7 but it said next chance to become star seller november 1st

[leinweberstudio]

my first sale was aug 7...

This explains it.

Your first sale has to be 90 days or 3 months ago or longer.

3 months for you will be on Nov. 7, so if all goes well you'll get the badge on Dec. 1

@LexiLuLuDesign 

from etsy

How your shop is evaluated for the Star Seller badge

You’ll be eligible to become a Star Seller starting 90 days after your first sale – as long as you’ve met our customer service standards for the month, and received at least 5 orders and $300 in sales over the past three months.

.... etsy always says the next chance is at the next review, even if you've been open 1 day, but you have the chance, and fail the 90 days

next chance is 1st Dec

[LexiLuLuDesign]

i created my etsy account aug 3 so does that mean i have to wait till december 1st if so why it did it say next chance november 1st

[HouseofWhisperingFir]

I think you also need to be open a full three months.  When did you open your shop?

(You should have an about section which helps build customer confidence in your shop, also supplies this info)

[NanaLetha]

@LexiLuLuDesign  If it still says Nov 1st, then it hasn't been updated yet.

[LexiLuLuDesign]

it says December 1st now i understand that it has to be 90 days after your first sale but why did it say next chance to become star seller nov 1st i didn't get my first sale until august 7 but it said next chance Nov 1 and now it updated today till December 1st

[CraftyCornishMaids]

your first chance was 1st sept, then 1st Oct, then 1st Nov

etsy evaluated you, and you would have failed all chances, because of the 90 days.

[leinweberstudio]

 but why did it say next chance to become star seller nov 1st

It's all automated with a generic message for everyone. 

They don't adjust the message for each individual.

[LexiLuLuDesign]

okay thank you guys you are a huge help!

[LexiLuLuDesign]

one more question guys i have this reserve on my account when will it be removed its been on there for 2 months i cant get my money?

[CraftyCornishMaids]

is it a reserve or a hold,

 normally it's a 14-20 day hold on new shops for 90-180 days

[LexiLuLuDesign]

its a reserve
