IF MY ITEMS DON'T SELL, EBAY WON'T MAKE ANY MONEY ON ME!

[gifts_of_elegance]

Good Morning fellow Power Sellers from cold, damp, southern Ontario!
The weather is still cool for this time of the year and I have cooled too. I am no longer going to agonize over the new rules and regulations. I have survived many hurdles in the past four years and built my business by trekking ahead, without looking back or sideways. I will continue to do the same because if I don't, then it will hurt me more. I can't remember a single benefit that I got from being a Power Seller, so why agonize over the potential loss of this so called "honor"? eBay can do whatever they want, they can bring in any rule they want, and if it results in less sales for me, then they will make less money off me. Its as simple as that. I am one of the very few sellers that sell authentic Swarovski and Christian Dior jewelry and the assumption that if they don't buy from me, they will buy it from someone else does not hold. I don't employ staff, my inventory is paid for, I still have my regular job,I will survive.

I wish all my fellow eBayers the very best! Don't give up! This too shall pass!

5% or 15% rebate every month on your FVF if your DSRs qualify. The rebate is only available to Powersellers.

Worth over $100 a month to me. :-) .

You know Pierre, if your head gets any higher it will be in the clouds.

"...it will be in the clouds."

It is! Good place to be. We see differently from up here, things not visible from the ground 😉 . .

if your items don't sell ebay still makes money from your listing fees + bold + highlights and other fees charged when insertion, even if you don't make money they do, just like a broker
