How do I read an Awazon vendor page?
Answer
Check the deal count and the dispute ratio at the top. It takes a minute and it is the key read.
Short answer. Read the two numbers at the top of every vendor page: the deal count and the dispute ratio. A minute here is the most useful minute you will spend.
Deal count
How many orders the vendor has completed. A high count over time is a vendor the market has watched work. A brand-new account is unproven, so a first order there should be especially small.
Dispute ratio
The share of orders that ended in a dispute. Low is good, and a rising ratio on recent orders is a warning even on a long history. New vendors are locked out of finalise-early until they have run clean orders, and the profile shows their standing.
