Question for ebay Powersellers

Do you recommend using the Powerseller logo on your listings?

When I was 1st promoted to powerseller, I turned the logo on and my failed to arrive parcels tripled.
I started to get this-item-isn't-quite-right-can-I-have-some-money-knocked-off and can-I-have-it-cheaper emails - this was before you could put offers on a listing.
So I ditched the logo and things went back to normal.

I'm now wondering about trying it again as ebay seem be to plugging the powerseller/reliable/safe aspect and would like to know what others, that use it, think.

    I'm a Silver PS and I've not had a single issue like those you mention.

    As it shows you are a PS on the item page I can't see what the problem is regarding using the logo. That said, I don't use. it.

    The bigger you are/look the fewer stupid questions/request you get, as well as less people chance their arm with 'm8 i havenot got item yet' and the like, also less (no) negotiation on the terms of returning.

    ......As it shows you are a PS on the item page I can't see what the problem is regarding using the logo. .....

    It only shows if you want it too.
    My listing show the feedback but it doesn't say Powerseller anywhere.
    Anyone who knows ebay will realize that I must be a powerseller if they look at the numbers but not everyone takes that much notice.

    From what people have just said, it looks like things have changed.
    It's about 5 years since I used the logo. I think it's time to give it another try....
