eBay PowerSellers
by Craig Meyer
There are five ranks of
PowerSeller on eBay: bronze, silver, gold,
platinum, and titanium. The requirements for them are simple:
maintain a gross sales rate of a certain number of dollars per
month
for three months of activity and you're in.
The rates are:
Bronze: $1,000
Silver: $3,000
Gold: $10,000
Platinum: $25,000
Titanium: $150,000
The other requirements are simple if you are meeting the above.
Among them are: being an active seller on eBay for at least 90
days,
have a minimum feedback rating of 100 with a 98% positive,
keeping
your eBay account current, and comply with eBay listing policies.
Most likely, if you qualify as a PowerSeller, you are already
doing
these things.
Why is being a PowerSeller important?
That depends on who you
ask.
After surveying the office here, I found that among our
PowerSellers
in residence, the common answer is: recognition.
If a potential buyer sees that you have the shooting PowerSeller
star, the buyer knows that you are not just another "junk man" on
eBay. This extra trust means increased sales. Aaron, our
editor,
for instance, recently made Bronze PowerSeller and noticed his
sales
increase by about 20% once the shooting star appeared on his
username.
There are other benefits, such as access to the eBay group
insurance
plan, access to special products in the eBay store, etc.
For many, PowerSeller status is also something to strive for: a
goal
or milestone to be achieved. So go do it!
