Sellathon Launches Site with Data on Top eBay Sellers

Sellathon launched a new section on its website this week containing a list of top eBay sellers with accompanying data that can be sorted to reveal interesting trends and information.

Visitors to the Sellathon site can sort the top 10,000 eBay sellers by number of unique feedback, number of total feedback, number of mutually withdrawn feedback, amount of negative feedback and positive feedback left for them by trading partners, and geographic location (including the U.S., China and 25 other countries).

Trend arrows indicate at a glance how a member is doing with regard to feedback from trading partners. The left arrow represents positive feedback, the middle arrow is for neutral feedback and the right arrow is for negative feedback. Wayne Yeager, President and Founder of Sellathon, said the trend arrows are a way of quickly seeing if a seller is getting more or less of a particular type of feedback than they were last year.

The chart also reveals the number of Bid Retractions, Repeat Buyer ratio, whether the member has an eBay Store, whether they are PowerSellers, and when the User ID was created. Private feedback is excluded (eBay allows members to keep feedback private, which allows others to view ratings but not the feedback comments).

The list of top eBay sellers also indicates whether the seller is "NARU," eBay's indication for "Not a Registered User." The NARU designation often, but not always, indicates an account suspension. Visitors can click through to the eBay website to find out when the account may have been NARU - the date of the last feedback is a good indication.

Sellathon is best known for ViewTracker, its service that allows eBay sellers to track where traffic is coming from, how visitors are getting to their listings, and other "analytics" data.
