Maybe you have more than one goal this year, and becoming a PowerSeller is on the list!  I want to help you get moving a little. 

I remember when I first started on eBay I had the drive to become a PowerSeller!  Oh, I would sell everything! Then, when I reached my goal, I would work very hard to hang on to my accomplishment.  This is going back 10 years…..times are different now.  There are so many MORE options to increase your sales, making it easier to gain the PowerSeller icon next to your name!

Here are some Pro’s to becoming an eBay PowerSeller:

Buyers love eBay PowerSellers – why?

• You’ve met the highest standards on eBay
• You sell a consistent amount of items
• Your feedback rating is 98% or better
• Your detailed seller ratings (DSRs) are 4.5 or better in all four areas.
• Your account is in good standing
• You comply with all of the policies on eBay

You’ve become a seller that buyers feel that they can trust – and that’s pretty awesome!  Those six points are also your checklist to success, if you haven’t met those standards.

Rewards of becoming a PowerSeller:

eBay is proud to recognize every PowerSeller with benefits.

Here are just a few:

• PowerSellers get prioritized support by email or telephone, depending on sales level.
• Save up to 20% on FVFs each month. The higher your DSRs, the higher your discounts.
• Unpaid Item protection
• UPS rate discounts

Happy Selling!

Is eBay Fun for you?

I’ve been buying and selling on eBay for nearly 10 years.  I would be remiss if I didn’t say that occasionally, I get a little bored.  It’s totally normal to get into a routine with anything you do day after day and fall into a rut.  

So why not mix things up?!  Spark a little fun back into your eBay routine!

Every so often I like to spice things up, change is good!  Sometimes it’s as easy as cleaning your office – or rearranging inventory.  Maybe, adding a new product to your store is something to gain momentum.

This year, I’ve added an eBay Jar to my desk.  It will add a fun mix to my eBay “routine”.  I’ll even add a couple of bonus tickets to force me to take a break every now and then.

What you will need:

Small jar, basket, container or box.

Small index cards or pieces of paper cut in to small squares.

How it works:

Write down a different task on each card.

Fold up the card tight – NO peaking!

Put each card in your eBay jar.

Each day, pick a card and finish the first task, then repeat!  This will enable you to start each day doing something different from the same old routine you’re used to.  You can vary how many cards you pick each day – or you can just do this once a week.  It’s personal preference.

Examples of some tasks could be:

-Check email for one hour

-Take pictures of 20 items/edit/upload to photo host.

-List 10 items to eBay

-Write 2 blog posts

-Organize inventory

-BONUS CARD! Take a half hour break!

-List two Charity Auctions today.

Hope this helps you to move through the day a little easier!

Happy Selling
