The eBay Powerseller logo, a powerful marketing tool and one that, when used correctly, can really attract confidence from your customers. When displayed in your ebay listings and used for business cards, catalogs or mass email marketing, it can help your business grow by backing up your companies name with a powerful Corporation like eBay.
Obtaining Powerseller status on eBay is not an easy thing. You have to maintain an average sales volume over the course of 3 months at a high enough quantity to attract eBay’s attention and also maintain other average and percentages on aspects such as your feedback to keep your Powerseller status on eBay.
Many entrepreneurs are drawn to eBay and there is a huge market out there with thousands of new eBay users signing up each day . With the holiday season approaching many “seasonal powersellers” are out there trying to obtain there eBay Powersellers status for next years running. Seasonal Powersellers are a new program out there on eBay and have drawn it turns out, a large crowd.
Many people, eBay motors, eBay seaonal Christmas items or eBay jewerly do a huge business seasonally. They can draw in numbers that make the numbers for the average Powerseller on eBay working the three month average system seem silly. It takes a lot higher numbers to make it as a seasonal Powerseller on eBay and the numbers are displayed by clicking anywhere on the eBay logo on the eBay website, where it details the average volume needed per month or seaonally to become a Powerseller on eBay.
Powersellers also have to keep Feedback on eBay at a consistent level, not dropping below 98% positive in order to maintain status on eBay and stay in the powerseller program. When selling on eBay and shipping items to customers all over the country, it is hard no matter what you are selling to keep your feedback at a high enough quantity and positivity to stay at 98%.
Although it should seem easy to maintain, it is not so easy when shipping such a high volume of product out all over the U.S or of course internationally.. As you enter your average retail store, let’s say even a large corporation like Walmart and even if you have only been there a couple of times, you are bound to have seen a “disgruntled customer” at least once. And how many of those do you think has taken it further than the average employee and asked for “management”. Think of how this must work online and realize that when people are simply “e-mailing” you instead of standing in front of you “in person”, it is a lot easier to show some “big balls” and really say what you mean if you are unhappy.
Keeping this in mind, even the most reputable seller on eBay, whether a powerseller or not, it is a constant challenge to keep your customers happy. I have been selling on eBay for more than 7 years and have been in the office chair industry for over ten and let me tell you, it is hard when shipping product to customers over a long distance to just have everything go easily and not have any problems. No matter what shipping or freight company you use, they are bound to have a number of “claims” because of course, humans are involved in the shipment process and error is expected sometimes, nobody’s perfect.
But when it comes to eBay, you never know who your customers are going to be at the end of a listing and it is impossible to guess where the customer who buys your item will live. Being a Powerseller on eBay requires the eBay seller to work hard, dedicate themselves to good customer service and a good product as well as requiring them to keep up a consistent sales volume each month of loyal customers. Buy with Confidence.
