Don't sweat it if you don't qualify for PowerSeller status. The benefits offered aren't all that great, and I've been unable to quantify any sales increases that accrue from displaying the PowerSeller logo. Better to concentrate on improving the profitability of your eBay business than on reaching some artificial PowerSeller level!


But the thing is, you can't become a PowerSeller just by asking. In fact, there's really no way to request membership at all; the program operates by invitation only. Each month eBay sends out invitations to sellers who meet the PowerSeller criteria. You become a member by (1) meeting the criteria; (2) receiving an invitation; and (3) responding positively to the invitation .

You can, however, see if you qualify for the program. Just go to the main PowerSeller's page and click the Qualified Yet? link. eBay will calculate your recent sales and tell you whether you qualify.
