How do the eBay Power Sellers Sell so Much? - By: Michael Tasker

You will have heard the term eBay Power Seller but do you know what is means? These are eBay's top dogs, the sellers who take in the most cash and have the highest reputation. Attaining such status is not difficult but does require dedication and a will to achieve.

How Does Anyone Achieve the Right to an eBay Power Seller Status?

It is only eBay itself who gets to decide who can be a Power Seller, and they have strict criteria to determine if someone qualifies.To achieve the minimum PowerSeller level, you must have a feedback rating of at least a minimum of 98% positive and sell at least $1,000 worth of items every month for three months in a row. There are differing levels of Power Seller membership: $1,000 total is bronze, $3,000 is silver, $10,000 is gold, $25,000 is platinum and for the top eBay Power Sellers, $125,000 is titanium.

If Power Sellers ever fail to meet the required amount of sales, or their feedback falls below 98% positive, then they lose their Power Seller status. Therefore, the only people who get to be eBay Power Sellers on eBay are the people who have been successful for a predetermined period of time and are most likely to continue their successful activity. Once this status is achieved, it has to been vigourously guarded as it can provide the holder of a Power Seller status the passport to make serious money on eBay

Their eBay Shop and the Marketplace.

This is the most important part of understanding how eBay Power Sellers think. They never think that their eBay business is just a hobby or garage sale. Quite the opposite. They approach their selling on eBay as a business. It would be incorrect to assume that such reputations and status are gained by offering in an auction anything that is lying around. Quite simply, there is a business plan and it is adhered to. Their business success is modelled on profiting from a niche market where they have already researched untapped demand for items and have found a reliable source to supply such items.

Power Sellers think far more like a regular retail bricks and mortar business. It is simple: they offer the same items again, every auction for regular buyers. They do 'boring' business things like keep inventories and budgets. They know what they're going to be selling, how much they buy it for and how much they expect to sell for. Like any retail business, activity can ebb and flow but they tend to create stable income and thus their eBay business will experience solid growth.
