Make lots of sales!

Despite the title it really doesn't mean that much and has very little material benefits.

The is no fast track way of becoming a Powerseller other than what I said, make lots of sales consistently. How you do that is down to how you run you business and not down to a magic formula.

Just go about your business in the normal way. Powerseller status is just a recognition level really. It could perhaps be argued that its a level all business owners will hope to achieve on eBay but in the grand scheme of things it offers very few benefits.

Any moderate small business can achieve powerseller status on eBay without too much hassle, have a look at the requirements for more information.

The big benefit it offers at the moment is a discount on your final value fees to obtain that get your sales up, your customer service spot on and your pp at realistic prices - oh and keep your fingers crossed too. Start using selling manager pro if you are not already doing so - ideal for monitoring auctions and communication.

YUP - so true.

The powerseller discount would make a big difference if you are selling several hundred items per month even
