Selling on Allegro is not just about good photos and competitive prices – customer reviews are equally important, directly impacting the offer's position. But what to do when you encounter a customer who lowers your rating without any valid reason? This is where the Allegro buyer blacklist comes to the rescue. Find out how it works and how to use it to protect your sales.
#Lowering Sales Rating
The Allegro sales platform uses three measures for rating sales: product conformity with description, customer service, and shipping costs. Sellers or the service does not have any influence on the content customers publish on sellers' accounts. There are unfortunately customers who artificially lower a very important sales rating. This is often the result of misunderstanding the auction description, mistakes, or inflated expectations.
#Consequences of Low Rating
Allegro primarily publishes offers from sellers with the best ratings. If many customers lower this factor, it may lead to decreased sales. Therefore, the number of comments and ratings is the most important factor in ranking offers on Allegro.
#How to Increase Offer Visibility?
AleAsystent.pl allows you to collect data about difficult customers. Sellers anonymously share their blacklist customer database. The assistant checks this database and counts how many sellers have blocked the customer. This allows you to determine the criteria by which your blacklist will be supplemented.
The system automatically blocks customers who:
- open a large number of discussions,
- leave low ratings without justification,
- frequently leave negative comments.
You can enable these features in the settings by selecting the appropriate options.
The difficult customers list is available in the Difficult Customers tab, where you can browse entries and add comments.
By enabling this feature, you will be informed about purchases made by customers on the blacklist. You will be able to take appropriate care of service, which will help maintain a high sales rating and improve the visibility of your offers on Allegro.
