Silver, Gold, Platinum or Titanium PowerSellers exceed the minimum requirements by meeting higher sales and volumes.
Items you will need
- Computer with Internet access
Step 1
Choose a niche for your eBay business that will provide a continual source of products. Sell actively on eBay for more than 90 days. Minimum sales volume with U.S. buyers over the past 12 months is $3,000 in sales and 100 transactions. Ebay has five levels of PowerSellers. Requirements rise for higher levels; sellers who reach these higher levels receive higher levels of customer support.
Step 2
Provide excellent customer service to maintain your feedback rating. You must have a minimum of 100 feedback ratings and maintain at least 98 percent positive feedback for the past 12 months. Accurately describing items, shipping promptly and communicating well with your buyers will increase smooth transactions and positive feedback ratings. Provide customer support through email, chat and phone.
Step 3
Familiarize yourself with eBay policies and do not exceed four violations in 90 days.
Step 4
Pay all fees on time. PowerSeller accounts must not be past due.
