It is essential that you make wise decisions if you are seeking a PowerSeller status with eBay. More often than not, sellers do not have a clear marketing plan on how they are goint to achieve their PowerSeller status. A Powerseller needs to have three consecutive months of 100 or more sales or $1,000 worth a sells for three months. (This means $1,000 every month for three months.) I will provide with you some tips on becoming a PowerSeller in as a little as a couple months.

Tip 1: Customer Service Helps

Your feedback is the first things customers check. You need to have a 99% to 100% positive feedback. eBay buyers seek sellers they can trust. Give the people what they want. When someone asks you a question about your items always answer them. Take the time out of your day to send them a considerate response. Always thank your customers for their questions and business. If a problem occurs make sure you take care of it right away. Also, if someone does leave you a negative feedback make sure you handle it professionally. Do not play the blame game because this looks very bad on your part. A lot of the times if there is a problem customers will send you a message, just make sure you handle properly.

Tip 2: Tracking Is Vital And Fast Shipping Helps

Always provide tracking for your packages if you can. If you are not going to start your ‘buy it nows’ or auctions with tracking make sure that you enable them to purchase it. Offer discounts if they buy one of more of your items. Also, allow them to receive their packages with a confirmation. Insurance on packages also helps improve your customers loyalty. I send all my packages out first class because I want my customers to get their products quickly. Do not use Media Mail because it takes forever to mail stuff that way.

Tip 3: Sell A Lot Quickly

When you are starting out in eBay it is important that you make a lot of transactions quickly. Sell small items that do not cost you a lot of money. If possible dropship items so you do not have to spend any money up front. When looking at what your competitors are selling make sure you are the cheapest item, but do make sure you are making money. Keep in mind that your seller transaction fees need to come into factor. Also remember that there are Paypal fees that you need to consider.
