Truth of the matter is that eBay is "massaging" ratings for those PSer's that are paying them to do so. The program you are outlining is yet another camouflaged way of providing preferred service to those who eBay sees as a "cash cow".
Trust me...over time this will have zero benefit to you and me. The fact that eBay has blatantly abandoned the "everyone is equal" policy with regard to listing has already impacted the FB policy as well. It has been revealed that their new Diamond PSers are not only getting listing rates you and I only dream of...they are getting FB removal and massaging upon request.
The days of equality and fair-play on eBay are long gone. This is just another statement which has been carefully worded to throw us off while paving the way to provide elite sellers with more exposure and power.
Expand to other selling avenues...particularly your own site...while you still have the ability to drive traffic to it from your ebay sales.

"The fact that eBay has blatantly abandoned the "everyone is equal" policy"
There never was such policy.
The official word was "level playing field" - where everyone has the same opportunity, the same possibilities.
I find no problem with eBay offering better incentives or lower rates to larger sellers - as long as all sellers have the same opportunity to achieve those sales levels.
PayPal already offers lower fees to most of us (receiving over $3,000 month) and I do not read any complaints from PowerSellers on the subject. With higher volume, we also get better conversion rates (better in fact than most Canadian banks) and, once again, I do not read too many complaints about that!
We live in a world of "free enterprise" or capitalism (rewarding the winners) - not communism (protecting the losers). Let's celebrate our environment and applaud those who achieve success.
