How are the performance index and statistics calculated?
On your profile and each of your services, youβll see a set of statistics and a performance score. These indicators are based on your activity over the last 6 months.
π This means that orders older than 6 months are no longer included, which can cause your stats to change daily. Even if nothing new happens on your account.
β οΈ If youβve completed fewer than five orders in the past 6 months, your statistics wonβt be displayed, and you wonβt have a performance score. In that case, youβre considered neutral in the ranking algorithm. No bonus, no penalty.
π Performance Score
This score gives buyers a quick snapshot of how reliable a seller you are. Itβs based on your statistics, with weighted importance for each factor:
βββββ The completion rate
ββββ The average response time
βββ β On-time deliveries
ββ Order acceptance rate
You're amongst the best. Congrats! You don't have any weaknesses. | |
You're very close to reaching the top. That's excellent. | |
You're on the right path. Keep improving your weaknesses. | |
It's acceptable, but you need to analyze your weak points. | |
Be careful, you have many weaknesses. | |
Be careful, your stats are not good and you need to improve them very quickly. |
β±οΈ Average Response Time
This is calculated based on 5 types of actions, starting from the moment a buyer sends a message:
- Time to respond to a first message in a question
- Time to accept a direct order (with no requirements)
- Time to accept an order or start a conversation if requirements are needed
- Time to accept/refuse a cancellation request, or to ask for clarification in chat
- Time to accept/refuse a revision request, or to ask for clarification in chat
Example: You respond to 4 buyers in 1 min, 15 min, 30 min, and 1 hourβbut you leave 1 buyer waiting for 7 days. π Average = (1 + 15 + 30 + 60 + 10080) / 5 = 2,127 minutes β 35 hours
π The minimum displayed time is 1 hour, even if you respond faster
π The maximum penalty is capped at 7 days for an unanswered message
π€ Acceptance Rate
This measures how many orders you accept compared to how many are placed on your services.
It answers the question: Do you frequently accept or reject orders?
Example: You receive 10 orders and accept 8 π Your rate = 80%
πΈ Exceptions (do not lower your rate):
- The buyer never sent a message on a service requiring instructions, and it was automatically canceled
- The buyer cancels within an hour of ordering a service that requires instructions, without a message from you
β Completion Rate
This measures how many orders you complete after accepting them.
It answers: Do you cancel orders after accepting them?
Example: You accept 10 orders and cancel 2 π Your rate = 80%
β³ On-Time Delivery
This rate tracks how many orders you deliver on time, including:
- The initial delivery
- Any revisions requested
Example: You accept 10 orders and one revision is late π Your rate = 90%
π If any part of the order is late, the entire order is considered late
