Why Should You Become An Ebay Powerseller?

By: Amanda O'Brien Home | Internet-and-Business


Everyone wants to make the most money that they can through the use of the most popular auction site on the internet today, eBay. But what exactly is the best way of doing it? One way to help you along your way is to become an eBay powerseller. This can help you to show to potential customers visiting your auctions that you are a member of the selling community to be trusted.

What exactly is an eBay powerseller?

The esteemed 'powerseller' title is one only given out to those sellers on eBay that consistently sell at a medium to high level, while also maintaining a high level of customer service. Essentially to become a powerseller you must:

a) Be registered as an business on eBay itself
b) Have a 98% or greater feedback rating on your seller account
c) Maintain a Detailed Seller Rating of 4.6 or more in each of the different categories available for a minimum of 30 days.

Even after you have earned the reward of being known as an eBay powerseller there are still levels for you to climb through to showcase your excellence as a provider of goods. Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Titanium levels can all be achieved and different benefits are doled out based on the level that you have reached. These different levels are achieved based purely on the amount of sales that you make.

What difference does it make to me?

The benefits of being an eBay powerseller include a discount on your final value fees, a personal account manager and even personal phone support. If you compliment the number of sales that you make with an excellent level of customer service you could even be on the receiving end of a promotion in search results for your items.

That means more money to you the seller for no extra effort. You just need to keep up your level of customer service and maintain a sales quota.

How do I become an eBay powerseller?

There is no fee to become an eBay powerseller, despite the obvious benefits to it though there are a certain amount of qualifications that you must meet. For example, you must have been rated by your buyers more than 100 times but still hold a 98% or more positive feedback rating. You'll also need to be selling 100 items every month and to have done that for a minimum of three months as well as being a member of the site for at least 90 days.

Your eligibility to remain in this position will also be checked once every month so you can't just forget customer service and sales once you have reached the position.

Increase your sales as an eBay powerseller

eBay powersellers really do see an increase in sales as buyers are far more likely to purchase from a respected member of the community. For that reason it is important that you take the steps necessary to become a powerseller to help you to make more money through your own eBay business.
