I have finally reached Bronze Power Seller status, which I am really please
about considering I have only been buying stock in to sell since the end of
October 2011 so it has taken just 3 months.
I have had a few ups and downs
and for one of those months my account was below standard status which made my
listings hardly visible, This was because I was using a drop shipper and
suffered some low DSR scores, more on that issue in my previous post. However,
I changed my tactics slightly and still managed to sell a reasonable amount
during my period of being in the dog house and I was soon out and now I am a
Power Seller, Yay!!!
EBay no longer allows sellers to use the power
seller logo on your listings or to mention it in the text of your ad so my
buyers are unaware of this great achievement. The emphasis now is to become Top
Rated because that is when the added bonus of FVF (Final Value Fee) discount
applies giving me more profit on my sales. So being a Power Seller does not
change much straight away and I can't shout about it on EBay but it means I am
another step closer to being Top Rated.
Being a successful EBay seller
involves doing your home work and lots of research to get the right stock at the
right price. There is no magic formula and you don't need to waste your money on How to Guides, because I will tell you how to do it here for free, it is not that hard once you
get the right products, I will post again soon with some tips on finding stock
and making sure you can sell it for a profit very soon, but in the meantime keep
raiding those cupboards and the loft and get selling anything that is not nailed
down. Set your self a target to list 10 things a week to start with, Some
people moan that it's time consuming but that is nothing if your serious about
being an EBay seller, you should be able to manage this easily and your feedback
will soon build up.
