Where is this in the ecosystem?

The prerequisite for sustainable sales on Amazon Handmade is a healthy seller account. Amazon monitors seller performance with specific metrics; falling below these thresholds can lead to account suspension.

Critical metrics

Order defect rate (ODR), late shipment rate, cancellation rate and valid tracking rate are the most important metrics. Each measures a different dimension of the buyer experience.
