Account Health Rating

📌 Important AnnouncementAccount Health Rating will be introduced in two phases:
Preview Period: from May onwards
  • You will be able to access the Account Health Rating page and view your AHR score.
  • Your score will be calculated based on your violation and order history over the past 90 days.
  • Enforcement actions will continue to be based on the Violation Points system, your AHR score will be shown for reference only.

AHR Launch: from July onwards
  • Account Health Rating will fully replace the Violation Points system.
  • All enforcement actions will be based on your AHR score.

What is Account Health Rating (AHR)

The Account Health Rating (AHR) is a numerical score from 0–1,000 that shows the overall policy health of your seller account. It reflects points earned and lost based on your shop's activities over the past 90 days.
How it works
  • All new sellers start with 200 points.
  • Sellers can earn points for completed orders.
  • Points are deducted for policy violations.
  • Your AHR Score = Base Points (200) + Points Earned from Completed Orders (last 90 days) − Points Deducted for Policy Violations (last 90 days).
  • Your AHR score helps you understand your account health and how close you may be to enforcement actions.
  • Keep your AHR at 200 and above to stay within the healthy range and avoid milestone enforcement actions!

    • Points from completed orders are calculated and added weekly.
    • You can earn a maximum of 16 points per week through this method.
    • Your AHR points are re-calculated weekly based on completed orders within a rolling 90-day period, and may increase or decrease as your order volume changes.
  2. Policy quizzes
    1. Earn 5 points when you receive a perfect score on the Policy Quiz linked to your specific violation.

Their initial AHR score will be calculated using their shop's activities over the past 90 days. This includes:
  • A starting base of 200 AHR points
  • Points added based on your completed orders (last 90 days)
  • Points deducted based on your violation history (last 90 days)

Do all sellers have an Account Health Rating?

Yes, all sellers have an AHR score. New sellers start with 200 points.

How often is my AHR updated?

Your AHR score is updated regularly based on your shop's activities, such as violations and quiz outcomes. Points from completed orders are calculated and added weekly.

Is my AHR score visible to customers?

No. Your AHR is only visible to you in Seller Center.

Why did my AHR change even though I did not receive a new violation?

Your AHR may change when previously earned or deducted points expire after 90 days. This is part of the rolling calculation used to reflect your account’s recent compliance activity.

Can I appeal point deductions?
