You can easily download the orders report from the Manage orders page by selecting Download report at the top right of the table. This will download all orders in your current results set (e.g. If you have 2,460 orders in your results set, this will download 2,460 orders).

Refurbished on eBay dashboard

If you sell items through the Refurbished on eBay programme, you can now easily monitor your progress in the Seller Hub Performance section. By selecting the Refurbished on eBay tab, you'll have access to a dashboard providing real-time metrics and insights into your monthly refurbished transactions.

The dashboard makes it easier to ensure you are meeting minimum programme requirement metrics as defined in the refurbished contract. These metrics are evaluated and refreshed on a monthly cadence, after the 25th of each month, based on a complete 3 month (90-day) rolling lookback period. Sellers can also download data for transactions in the programme dashboard via the transactions tab.

If you have questions on your programme metrics please email us at refurbishedprogramme@ebay.com.

Seller Hub consolidates all our listing, reporting, and order management tools in one place. It also provides a range of data and insights to help you grow your business.
