*Based on percentage of transactions with U.S. buyers.

** To ensure that just one transaction won't prevent lower-volume sellers (less than 400 transactions ) from reaping the rewards they deserve, the maximum will be 2 instances instead of 0.50%.

***Sellers who do not meet these minimum requirements will be subject to a demotion in search results and other possible consequences.
