It’s estimated that less than 4% of all eBay sellers are branded with the power seller status. You can boost your eBay business by becoming a power seller and becoming a member of this elite group. But how do you become a power seller.
eBay power sellers consistently sell a high volume of items, must maintain a minimum of 98% positive feedback ratings, and provide a high level of customer service to their buyers. The power seller icon is displayed next to your username when you achieve power seller status, helping buyers quickly determine who is among the cream of the selling crop. Buyers know that quality sellers are synonymous with the power seller status.
Power sellers are listed under one of the five power selling tiers: bronze, silver, gold, platinum, and titanium. Each tier requires you to meet the monthly minimum sales for at least the past three months to get in on that tier. For each tier, the respective minimums are: $1,000, $3,000, $10,000, $25,000, and $150,000. Obviously, $150,000 a month is a hard number to hit, but you can make a respectable $3,000 a month through selling on eBay with ease, and enjoy power seller status at the silver level.
Power seller status isn’t focused on just your sales, of course – high quality customer service is the most important criterion for become a power seller. Power sellers consistently provide their buyers with high quality customer service that goes above and beyond the call of duty to keep their buyers happy. This level of customer service may seem rather daunting, especially if you’re only looking to make a little bit of extra cash to use for spending money, but it’s really not all that difficult. It’s the little things that count, like the extra e-mail thanking your customers for their loyalty, a handwritten note in every package telling buyers you appreciate their business, or throwing in an extra something small with your items to let buyers know that you appreciate them.
These little extras are all you need to get yourself that coveted power seller status. With a little bit of work on your part, you too can enjoy the benefits of becoming a power seller, and watch your eBay business boom.
I wish you all GREAT SUCCESS!
