The name eBay is almost as popular as the Internet itself when it comes to the strength this website has built over the years. But it didn't happen just by accident. For many years people have been turning to eBay as a reliable source that provides a way to conduct secure transactions over the Internet and to take advantage of some really great bargains that you simply cannot find anywhere else.
Due to the continued rise in popularity, eBay has become one of the best places that you can turn to for selling and buying all types of goods and some services. There are now classifications such as PowerSeller that demonstrate clearly why it makes sense to be selling your goods on eBay. First, let's get a clear understanding of what a PowerSeller on eBay is. A PowerSeller is one who achieves the requirements set forth by eBay for sales volume, customer satisfaction, good account standing and policy compliance. You may be wondering why you need to be a PowerSeller on eBay and if so, it's a good thing to understand why becoming a PowerSeller can take your business to the next level and put you ahead of the competition.
Anyone who is a PowerSeller on eBay has earned the reputation of having shown a proven track record of quality and quantity when it comes to selling, starting with becoming a Bronze PowerSeller. eBay offers a seller dashboard that lets you track your progress from the start. Each month you can qualify for PowerSeller status providing that you meet the following guidelines:
- Maintain an active account for at least 90 days - Comply with eBay policies on feedback, detailed seller ratings (DSRs), sales volume requirements and policies regarding violations
If it sounds too good to be true, it isn't. There are several PowerSeller Tiers you can choose from, which are Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Titanium. Sales volume or number of items you must sell to qualify are $1,000 or 100, $3,000 or 300, $10,000 or 1,000, $25,000 or 2,500 and $150,000 or 15,000. This gives virtually everyone the opportunity get started selling and working their way to PowerSeller status in no time.
When it comes to violations, you must be careful to avoid going over the specified limits, which vary from level to level but all within a 90-day period. The Seller Dashboard provides information on your compliance level. As for feedback and DSRs, the minimum feedback requirement is 100 with 98% of the feedback listed as positive. DRs must have a 12-month average of 4.5 or higher on all four categories, which are shipping time, communication, shipping and handling and item as described.
If all of this sounds a little complex or slightly overwhelming, there's no reason to believe that you have to become a PowerSeller all on your own. There are plenty of resources and helpful aids that will create a path you can follow from start to finish. So why not get started on the road to success by becoming a PowerSeller on eBay now? Your profits are calling!
