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?
