I was just offered to be an ebay powerseller, but I'm not really sure what that means. Every time I see it next to an id I just ignore it. Is there anything hidden that I should know about?

    Are you sure the offer is legit? Lots of phishers are using that as a ploy to hijack accounts. That program does offer some benefits but I could care less about it from a buyers perspective.

    CD,

    don't click on the link in your email. It might be spoof. Looks like ebay with matching graphics/logo but it's not. I've been getting those invitations before and kept ignoring. I onetime read an email inviting me. The only thing is I haven't sold big $$ to become a Powerseller. Also there was a 1 typo on the email I got.

    If you want to know about powerseller or if you qualify. Go directly to ebay NOT on the email link.

    Also received the e-mail, but ignored it. Probably a spoof because I'm not a big time seller.

    Nope, email was legit. I signed up and now I have the power seller icon next to my name and all the perks that go along with being a power seller, such as........... having the power seller icon next to my name. I honestly don't understand why this would be something I have to sign up for, but it's free so why not. Right now I'm a bronze power seller, but if I can do over $150,000 in sales a month I can make titanium. You heard me right..... TITANIUM!!! Then the world will be mine!!!!!!!

    They should make an icon for "scammer sellers".

    CD, maybe you have your sights on Titanium sales of $150K a month image but I can tell you as an irregular $3K Silver Power Seller ... it don't mean a damn thing more than being a $1K Bronze Power Seller except the icon changes slightly. The wonderful perks are:

    1) You get a cool logo next to your ID.
    2) The cool logo makes bidders more confident, 'cause you sell lots of stuff.
    3) You get tipped off about 10-cent listing days etc.
    4) You carry more weight in a dispute, and I think you can request that a neg be removed without jumping through quite so many hoops.
    5) When some whiny snot sends you a threatening e-mail, you can reply hautily: "I am a Bronze Power Seller, so bow down and kiss my feet!"
    6) I think you might get free listing software that's better than the general-issue software. It's not available for a Mac, so I can't say more.
    7) If you slip below your $1K or $3K or whatever monthly level, eBay sends you an e-mail stating that you are about to be demoted, so hurry up and SELL SELL SELL!
    8) You get a cool logo next to your ID.

    take the powerseller icon, I think its kinda cool and proof of your feedback aeceeding 98%, 100 feedbacks and over $1,000/month for 3 consecutive months. ultimately it doesn't mean much, but it is kinda nice and you will get a bunch of powerseller stuff in the mail.

    its free!!
