What Community Stars Are
Community Stars have tracked useful activity on ShopBroker: completed sales, reviews, setup tasks, and other signals that help buyers understand seller momentum.
Under the May 29, 2026 Terms update, new Community Star earning and leaderboard BrokerBucks awards are scheduled to pause. If you already earned BrokerBucks from earlier leaderboard prizes, those credits still apply to future service fees while your account is active.

Visit Community Stars in the app to see your standing. Starting May 29, 2026, the scheduled ongoing BrokerBucks earning path is the Monthly Seller Dividend.
