We've discussed:
Advantages to being a PowerSeller? Being Powerseller protects from Ebay suspensions? - Free EBAY, PayPal, Business and Law Forums - Ebay Suspension, PayPal Limited
but, there are at least two definite advantages to being a PowerSeller:
1. Buyers tend to trust PowerSellers.
2. PowerSellers get discounts on EBAY fees (assuming you pay your fees :-)
The latest from EBAY:
Dear _____,
We're making some exciting changes to make trading on eBay faster, easier, and more rewarding for sellers that deliver great service and quality.
New eBay Top-rated seller status
Beginning in October, sellers that meet the new PowerSeller program requirements and have an excellent track record with buyers (measured by very few low--1s and 2s--detailed seller ratings) will get fee discounts, increased visibility for their listings, and a new Top-rated seller badge that will replace the current PowerSeller icon on view item and other member profile pages.
The sales dollar volume requirement for the PowerSeller program and the new Top-rated seller status will also be lowered to include more sellers. That means lower volume sellers that create great buyer experiences will be recognized and rewarded right along with the "big guys." Remember, you can list 5 items for free every thirty days--and pay only if your item sells. If you use your free Auction-style listings each month, you'll be more than half way to meeting the new lower listing threshold and could have the potential for becoming an eBay Top-rated seller and PowerSeller!
Enhanced search presents more relevant listings
As always, Auction-style listings will continue to get a boost in search results as they are about to end. But now, Fixed Price listings with a high ratio of sales when viewed by buyers will also get a boost. Essentially, buyers will "vote" on an item's relevance with their dollars, so it's more important than ever to create a compelling, accurate title and description for your item.
In addition, a number of listing features (including Border and Highlight) will be discontinued in order to streamline the appearance of search results and help buyers find the right items more quickly. Starting September 1, we'll also be selecting some members' photos for inclusion in the eBay product catalog. If your photo is chosen, you'll get attribution to your User ID and a link to your My World page under your photo on the product page. You can opt out of having your photos selected through My eBay.
Easier, more profitable selling
There are many other updates coming to help you sell on eBay, including simpler ways to communicate through My Messages, more flexibility in shipping (including printing postage and labels right on eBay), faster resolution in the event of an unpaid item and a free Selling Manager tool built into My eBay.
For complete details on all of the upcoming changes, please visit eBay Seller Update: July 2009
Thank you for buying and selling on eBay--and happy trading!
Essentially, PowerSellers who bend over backwards for their buyers, will be rewarded. But also apparently, sellers will have to meet more requirements in order to avoid getting the axe.
