Active Only User Rankings By Country And World-Wide Now Available On SellerDome.com

admin — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 14:27:03 +0000

In addition to the World-Wide and Country based rankings, SellerDome.com now updates and publishes daily rankings for Top Active eBay Sellers. Active eBay Sellers are defined as registered users who have received feedback within the past month. The following Active Only lists are currently available: World-Wide (Active) - top 350K, The United States (Active) - top 200K, Germany (Active) - top 50K, The United Kingdom (Active) - top 50K, France (Active) - top 7K, Australia (Active) - top 8K and Canada (Active) - top 6K. To view the Active Only rankings, select the group with “(Active)” following the description from the Rankings list and press “Go”. If an Inactive seller is searched while viewing an Active Only rankings list, no results will be returned. Because the country based Active Only sellers on SellerDome.com are a subset of the World-Wide Active Only sellers, it is possible for a seller to be ranked Active World-Wide but not available in a country based Active Only ranking list. This should only impact sellers ranked below +/- 400K. Please send us your questions or feedback on this new functionality or any other feature of SellerDome.com.

Top eBay Seller Rankings Now Available By Country On SellerDome.com

admin — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:01:02 +0000

Separate rankings are now being published and updated daily for the following countries: The United States (top 200K), Germany (top 75K), The United Kingdom (top 50K), France (top 7.5K), Australia (top 10K) and Canada (top 7.5K). World-Wide rankings will still be published and will be the default rankings for SellerDome.com. Simply select the country from the Rankings list and press “Go”. This will switch the main Top eBay Sellers ranking table as well as Detailed User Information rankings to the designated country.

This should only impact sellers ranked below +/- 400K. We hope this additionally functionality proves useful. Please send us your questions or feedback on this new functionality or any other feature of SellerDome.com.
