    I think so. What does it lead to when you mouseover the link?

    i dunno...i consider any emails i get from ebay or on behalf of ebay to be scams. i forward everything i get and they let me know if it's legit. forward it to spoof@ebay.com and see what they say.

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing eBay.

    The message you received was an official email message sent on behalf of
    eBay. This message was sent because you indicated in your preferences
    that you wished to receive these types of messages.


    what scared me was the link sent me to a page to log in, and I didnt want to...ebay safe harbour said it came from them image

    You can get to the power sellers sign in by going to e-bay services. Then just sign in and see if you can sign up.

    I wouldn't do it threw the link either.

    Congratulations! Sounds like your in!

    I was a power seller for a couple of months and saw no advantage at all.

    That's OK, I got an email from eBay today telling me they were taking away my coveted power screwer status. I am so sad! image

    That's it I'm done. With all the negative stuff about eBay being put on the boards here by both buyers and sellers about other buyers and sellers, I just don't want to buy through eBay anymore. It seems it's becoming more and more of a hit and miss with a bunch of hassle. As soon as I straighten out the mess I'm in with one seller not wanting to sell to me then I'm going to take a long break and limit my buying to the individual auction houses, one on one with a dealer, or coin shows.

    I have found it rather nice to buy/sell from/to the forum members.
