# Streszczenie
eMAG account rating and health: what the metrics are calculated from, where the risk thresholds sit and how to rebuild your seller scorecard step by step.

# Treść
**An eMAG account rating is not a single "star" score but a set of hard operational metrics the platform calculates for you - and on which it decides how high your offers appear. Once you understand what account health is made of and where the risk thresholds lie, you stop firefighting and start deliberately watching the numbers that actually drive sales.**

This article shows how eMAG evaluates a seller, when an account slips into the risk zone, why ratings most often drop and how - step by step - to rebuild account health before the platform imposes restrictions.

## What the rating and account health on eMAG are calculated from

On eMAG it is worth separating two things that are easy to confuse. The first is **product ratings** - the stars and reviews buyers leave under a specific offer. The second is **account health** (the seller scorecard) - the operational assessment of you as a seller, calculated from how you fulfil orders. It is account health that decides your offers' visibility and whether the account runs without restrictions.

Account health is a set of indicators the platform counts automatically from your orders within a time window (most often the last few dozen days). The mechanism is simple: every order leaves a "trace" - it was shipped on time or it was not, it was cancelled or completed, the customer got a quick answer or waited. eMAG adds those traces up into percentages and compares them with thresholds.

The main ones in play are:

- **Cancellation rate** - the share of orders cancelled through your fault (most often no stock or no response to the order).
- **On-time shipping** - whether you dispatch and mark the parcel with a tracking number within your declared handling time.
- **Returns and complaints rate** - how often orders end in a return or a dispute, especially over an item not matching its description.
- **Response time to customer messages** - how quickly you answer questions and issues through eMAG's messaging.
- **Buyer ratings and reviews** - the average product score and feedback on order fulfilment.

The key intuition: this is not a system that punishes one botched parcel. eMAG looks at **proportion** - one late shipment in a hundred orders is noise, but the same mistake in twenty orders is already a signal. That is why smaller accounts have to watch their numbers especially closely: at low volume a single slip moves the percentage much further.

## Risk thresholds - when an account gets into trouble

eMAG works with thresholds for every metric. Below a certain level an indicator is "green" and nobody bothers you. Once the warning threshold is crossed you get a signal in the panel, and past the critical threshold the platform can limit your offers' visibility and, in extreme cases, suspend your ability to sell.

The specific threshold values are updated by the platform and differ between metrics, so there is no point learning them by heart - the current numbers are always in the scorecard in your seller account. What is worth knowing is the mechanism, because that stays stable.

Every metric follows the same three-zone pattern:

- **Green zone** - the indicator sits on the safe side of the threshold. The account runs without restrictions and the platform sends no signals.
- **Warning zone** - the indicator is approaching the threshold or has just crossed it, so a message appears in the panel. This is the moment to react, because sales have not been hit yet.
- **Critical zone** - eMAG limits offer visibility and, if the breach persists, may suspend selling until the metrics recover.

Where to check your own numbers: the scorecard in your seller account shows every metric along with the threshold that applies to your account and the time window it is calculated from. It is the only source consistent with how eMAG assesses you today - thresholds circulating on forums and in older guides can be out of date.

How should you think about these thresholds day to day? Instead of aiming to sit just above the line, build a buffer. If you suspect the on-time shipping threshold is somewhere in the high nineties, set yourself an internal target higher still. A buffer protects you in a bad week - a seasonal peak, a courier failure or illness in the warehouse - when isolated mistakes can stack up over a few days.

## The most common reasons a rating drops

In practice account health rarely drops for one dramatic reason. It is usually the sum of small, repeated operational lapses. These are the ones we see most often:

- **Stock levels out of sync** - you sell goods you do not physically have, so you have to cancel the order. That is the fastest way to inflate your cancellation rate. What helps here is [regularly updating your offers - prices, stock and specifications](https://harta.agency/aktualizacja-ofert-na-emag-krok-po-kroku/).
- **Overly ambitious handling time** - you declare fast shipping to look attractive and then cannot keep up. A realistic handling time beats a promise you do not deliver on.
- **Weak product pages** - an imprecise description, poor photos or missing specifications lead to "item not as described" returns and negative reviews.
- **Unclear warranty and after-sales service** - the buyer does not know where they stand, so they open a dispute. It pays to set the rules out in advance and know [how to set a product warranty on eMAG](https://harta.agency/jak-zmienic-gwarancje-produktu-na-emag/).
- **Slow replies to messages** - a customer waiting a full day for an answer leaves negative feedback more often and escalates to the platform.

Notice that most of these causes share a common denominator: **a promise that outruns the operation**. eMAG does not punish you for modest declarations - it punishes you for declarations you fail to keep.

## A recovery plan step by step

If the account is already in the risk zone, do not panic and do not change everything at once. The metrics are rolling, so recovery takes time as well - what counts is consistency, not a sprint. Here is the order we use:

1. **Diagnose which metric is dragging you down.** Open the scorecard and find the specific indicator below its threshold. Fixing "everything" without a diagnosis is wasted energy.
2. **Stop the bleeding.** If cancellations are the problem, pull products with uncertain stock from your listings until you regain control of inventory. Better to sell less for a while than to add more cancellations.
3. **Make your declarations realistic.** Extend handling time to a level you deliver on 100% of the time, even on a bad day. On-time shipping recovers faster with a realistic promise than with heroic catch-ups.
4. **Fix the source of returns.** Go through the product pages generating complaints, complete the descriptions, specifications and photos, and straighten out the warranty rules.
5. **Shorten your response time.** Set a fixed rhythm for checking messages and templates for the most common questions. A quick, polite reply often defuses a dispute before it becomes a negative review.
6. **Monitor and wait patiently for the window.** Metrics are calculated within a time window, so old mistakes drop out of the count as you add clean orders. Watch the trend week by week.

If you are not sure where the problem lies, or the account is already close to suspension, an outside look is worth it. An orderly diagnosis - metric by metric - usually points to two or three levers that deliver the biggest improvement for the least effort. That is exactly what good [eMAG sales management](https://harta.agency/emag/) is about: not firefighting, but watching the numbers before they turn red.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the difference between a product rating and account health on eMAG?
A product rating is the stars and reviews buyers leave under a specific offer. Account health is the seller's operational scorecard - cancellations, on-time shipping, returns, response time. It is account health, not the stars, that decides offer visibility and the risk of restrictions.

### How quickly can a rating be rebuilt after a drop?
The metrics are rolling and calculated within a time window, so improvement is not instant. It usually takes a few weeks of clean, on-time orders for old mistakes to drop out of the count and for the indicators to climb back above their thresholds.

### Will a single cancelled order damage the account?
At a healthy volume a single cancellation is noise. The problem appears when cancellations form a trend, or when the account has few orders - then one mistake moves the percentage a long way. eMAG looks at proportion, not absolute numbers.

### What happens if you exceed the account health thresholds?
First a warning and a signal in the panel, then limited offer visibility, and in extreme cases suspension of selling until the metrics improve. The earlier you react, the milder the consequences.

### Do commission costs depend on account rating?
These are two separate things - commissions follow from the category and the settlement model, not from your account health. If you want to put the cost side in order, see [how much selling on eMAG really costs](https://harta.agency/ile-kosztuje-sprzedaz-na-emag/) and how to calculate margin after platform fees.
