* 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 on eBay.com and eBay Motors search results and other possible consequences.
