How to Monitor Your Account Health & Metrics
What is it?
Your 'Account Health' is a dashboard inside your marketplace seller account (like Etsy Seller Dashboard or Amazon Seller Central) that grades your performance as a seller. It tracks key metrics to ensure you are providing a good experience for their customers.Why is it important?
If your metrics fall below a certain threshold, the marketplace will punish you. This can range from making your listings less visible in search to permanently suspending your account and holding your money.Key Metrics to Check Weekly:
You must check this dashboard at least once a week. The main things they track are:
- Late Shipment Rate: What percentage of your orders are shipped after the handling time you promised? (This is a major issue for POD sellers).
- Order Defect Rate (ODR): What percentage of your orders result in a negative review, a chargeback, or a claim (like an 'item not as described' claim)?
- Valid Tracking Rate: Are you providing a legitimate tracking number for almost all of your orders?
- Customer Service Response Time: Are you replying to customer messages within the required timeframe (usually 24 hours)?
Do's & Don'ts
- DO: Be conservative with your production/handling times. It's better to promise 5-7 days and ship in 4, than to promise 3 days and ship in 4.
- DON'T: Ignore warning emails from a marketplace. Address the problem immediately.
