The Power Of PowerSeller

Ever wonder what the power of a PowerSeller is on Ebay?  This elusive power is known only to a select group of Ebay sellers.  These particular sellers pay Ebay enormous amounts of money in fees.  Since the start of Aidan’s Toy Trove last November, I have fed Ebay several hundred dollars to sell my merchandise.  After factoring in Paypal fees, I estimate this number to be closer to a grand (yes, that’s $1000!)  I squealed in delight when I saw my Bronze PowerSeller icon magically appear in my Ebay profile today.

It has been a busy 90 days and in an odd way, I’m pretty darn proud.  So what do I get in return for all my hours of hard work?  I’m prepared to share the secret behind the coveted Powerseller badge.  Are you ready?  It is…absolutely…nothing.  Lol.  No really, I couldn’t find any benefit to being a PowerSeller.  My end goal is to be a Top Rated Seller which will give me a reduction in fees and PowerSeller is just a stepping stone to that.  So anticlimactic, sigh.  I guess I’ll just have to step up the speed of my listing, packing and shipping!  Please help me keep feeding that monster that is Ebay.  Treat yourself to an adorable Breyer Icicle Pony!

Or if Skylanders are more your thing, how about a rare variant Skylanders  Granite Crusher?

Who Is Aidan?

My store is called Aidan’s Toy Trove but who is Aidan?  I’ll give you a hint:

aidan

This is Aidan, shortly after our venture to pick up a collection of 400 Breyer horses.   I’ll give you one guess as to what is in the boxes in the background…  Aidan is my enthusiastic 7 year old son who loves to help out with sorting and packing inventory.  Which is good, because there’s a lot of it!  But he also loves to play.   He is very good at not touching things he isn’t supposed to but his dedicated play area is rapidly being filled with store inventory.  Help a kid out and buy some stuff would ya =p

The Start Of Something Fun

My website store will be powered by WooCommerce and Paypal.  I plan to offer Skylanders, Breyer Horses and Peter Stone Horses there at a discount as I won’t have to pay the hefty fees to EBay.  I said  it once but I’ll say it once more, look for these special sales on the menu above where it says Shop.  Thank you for  your interest in Aidan’s Toy Trove, this truly is the start of something fun!
