Is it not over a 1000 items sold to become a power seller?

This may sound like a daft question, but what are the advantages of being a Power Seller? ..... I'm assuming there must be a fee related saving?

I think you get a phone number for ebay for starters, and also priority in having your queries dealt with maybe?

From there 'invitation to become a power seller' email:

Trust me - being a Power Seller is nothin special. At first I thought it was and yes it feels great, but there are no real benefits apart from the logo next to your name.:rolleyes:

just think of the number of items they sell, how long does it take them to wrap/write address/post office run etc...

are they making enough just outta ebay ? ?

bleugh

the ONLY advantages of being a powerseller are

the powerseller forum, it's a laugh there, and you get to hear of the latest scams doing the rounds, and the latest paypal horror stories

......that you can reasonably expect an emailed response to your questions in a couple of days rather than weeks.

.......oh, dont forget the threatning emails ebay send you if you dont keep your sales up

if you're a heavy paypal user, there are small discounts in the fee structure (to help cover all your fraudulant transaction losses ?) which is another bonus of a powerseller

...........it increases your sales !!!!!! all if you show a powerseller logo.
...........it increases your chance of having Mr taxman knock on your door demanding cuts of your profits


really, the only thing i miss about not being one anymore is the forums!
