Power sellers

The very best sellers on eBay are given a ranking called Power sellers. These are sellers which meet very strict criteria and are trusted by the whole community. If you take a look at any power seller then you will notice that they usually have a huge feedback score and lots of satisfied customers. Of course not every customer will be satisfied but this is only because it's impossible to please everyone.

It's possible for anyone to become a power seller if they are willing to work hard enough. It's hard work but it's certainly well worth it.

There are a lot of tips that you can use to become an eBay power seller really quickly.

Combine your shipping

If you offer a number of auctions at the same time then you should consider offering to combine shipping charges. If you don't charge separately for items then buyers will really like buying from you. You need to make sure that the shipping costs are fair, don't charge low prices for products and high prices for shipping. If you combine shipping then you are more likely to sell more products which should make it easier to become an eBay power seller.

Answer questions

If anyone asks you a question about one of your items then you need to respond as quickly as possible. By answering questions people will be much more likely to bid on your items. Make sure that the product is dispatched as quickly as possible so that the buyers experience is good. All of this will help you to improve your feedback and possibly even become an eBay power seller.

Don't go over the top

It might be tempting to pay extra for bold titles or highlighted titles however this isn't really worth the money. It's much better to go down the simple but professional look. Using highlighting can make you look too desperate. You do need to make sure that you include photos and make sure that your title contains the right keywords.

Reliable supplier

If you have the intention of becoming an eBay power seller then you will want to be running your business for a long time. In this case you need to concentrate on finding a reliable supplier who won't let you down. You need to work alongside a wholesaler. If your supplier ends up letting you down then you will let your customers down which will damage your chances of becoming a power seller.

Titles

eBay have estimated that around 90% of buyers will use the keyword search to find products that they are looking for. That's why it's extremely important that your title is accurate and includes keywords that people search for when looking for products like yours.
