I found these two points interesting:
"Overall 21.3% of eBay listings are top-rated"
"With eBay's first page of results showing 50 items and with a 21% coverage, if a search term has 240 results or more, it's very likely that the entire first page will be eTRS. That's going to make it really tough for non-eTRS sellers as pretty much every eBay search I ever run comes back with > 2k items unless I get extremely specific. "
Since most of my online sales are now through my new store, I am not a TRS, at this point. From the messages I have received, it appears that I must wait until April 2010.
