As the calendar creeps toward December, I’ve found myself thinking about two little troublemakers from last year—my pair of defective transactions from 12/1/24. Hard to believe, but their one-year anniversary is almost here.
If you sell on eBay, you know how these defects can linger. They sit quietly in your metrics, not really doing damage, but still there… like a tiny burr in your shoe you can’t quite shake.
Right now my defective rate sits at 0.31%—comfortably low and well within the safe zone. Nothing alarming, nothing that affects my standing. Still, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited to watch those two issues finally roll off after their 12-month lifespan.
Will I make it? Absolutely. With no new defects on the horizon and steady performance, I’m set to watch those marks disappear right on schedule. And honestly, it’ll feel good—a clean slate, a lighter dashboard, and a small reminder of how far things have come since then.
Here’s to December, to rolling metrics, and to the little victories that keep sellers going.
