Tell me what is small ebay seller

O.K. what is a small ebay seller is it someone who sells 100 items at 0.99p or someone that sells 10 items at £9.

Both - I make ~30 sales a week and i'm small - if your not a powerseller shifting £thousands a week i'd say your small.

It is whatever we decide to categorise ourselves as, theres no real definition, nor need to have one.

The only categories that ebay impose are business or private , business being anyone who buys things to sell on, private seller being anyone that just sells things they have in the house or unwanted clothes or such like.

I consider myself to have always been a small seller, even when I was a power seller I rarely sold more than about 125 items a month on average, and now I sell only a small proportion of that so I suppose I am a microscopic seller!

I'd say a small e-Bay seller is someone who doesn't buy items to resell.

Anyone who does buy to resell, is a business, so isn't a small time seller, even if they only sell 10 items a week.

Not a powerseller.

Many now believe that ebay only wants powersellers....

In what context? There are some big companies selling on Ebay (eg Hewlett Packard). There's some statistic which is something like 1% of sellers have 60% of Ebay turnover (that's not accurate but from memory, can't find the details anymore) and 15% have 80%, so the rest would be small sellers.

VAT Registered sellers (unless registered below the threshold) turn over £67,000+ per annum. I'm in that category but would only class myself as a small business seller.
