I think it’s pretty astonishing that these numbers are so high: a testament to the positive experience that so many sellers are offering to buyers and the appreciation that the buyers are showing.
But it is the high scoring categories that caught my eye. eBay hasn’t been showing a lot of love for craft sellers, or ‘collectable’ categories but it’s obvious that these sellers are some of the best performing in terms of providing top-notch service.
Dan’s right, and with today’s announcement that new-BIN will not permit sub-99p listings on UK (double the minimum of the USA site) those same top categories are going to be decimated

Great tool, but I wish there was one that showed GMV for each seller.
Just because eforcity gets 40K feedbacks a month doesnt mean they are the “biggest” or most profitable.
They make a few bucks on each item while someone who sells in another category might only have 5,000 feedbacks but make X20 the profit and have 10X as less overhead with stock, employees etc.
Great tool though, glad we are in the top 1,000 sellers.
Hope to be in the diamond club after the new year.

.. And you can put it on your blog or on your webpage.
I’m curious if and when these various statistics will be updated.
Consodering all the changes that have evolved at ebay, alot of these stats on this site seem rather out of date now.
Any chance of getting some updated stats any time soon?
