Hello and welcome to the PowerSellers Canada Discussion Board! And congratulations to all the new PowerSellers that have just joined us!

As a starting point for those of you not used to the Discussion Board format, please be sure to read the board usage policies to find out what you can and cannot post here.

These boards are designed for PowerSellers to discuss their successes and problems as well as a place to get more information as your businesses grow or change. We hope you use these boards to get to know each other and to share some tips and tricks you have learned along the way.

This board is not a customer support center but you will see eBay staff members coming to the boards every now and again to talk with you and help out when they can. The main board posters for eBay.ca are myself (Moira) and Darla. Customer Support can be reached from the PowerSellers Portal Page or by clicking here.

Again, welcome to the discussion boards!

Welcome to the PowerSellers Board!

I have a question and am hopeful someone could help. I am a power seller but due to my vacation in August as well as health problems my sales were much lower last month. This month my sales are right back up there over $1,000. however, will I have to double this months income to compensate for the low income last month or am I safe to keep my Power Seller status for this month? Your help is appreciated. Thank you.

Welcome to the PowerSellers Board!

I think they use a 3 month average but I belive they are a bit lax.

In any event you get a warning email before they cancel you (I think).

Main thing is of course....who cares? Well you can't post here but otherwise what difference does it make.

Hi:

Its great to become a fellow member of Powersellers. The first thing I did is read the postings on this Discussion Board and all I can hope is that the greater majority of Powersellers are not like some of the items listed here. My wish is that all Powersellers continue to grow in the business they specialize in. We all play a part in making eBay an entertaining and worthwhile place for buyers from around the world to visit. Continued success and If you have a question, I am always willing to help.

Hi Everyone
I have a quick question and comment. I have just joined the power sellers and thought I would check this board out. Needless to say I spent the first 20 minutes reading nasty stuff from chuck and replys to him only to find out this was all outdated. Wondering ?? Is there anyway to have most recent comments at top and why would someone (from Ebay} not remove this type of postings. Really turned me off for my first visit here and then kinda ticked me off that I was so long in realizing the date of them postings.
Regards
Mark

Why Sean? Because we don't share in your fanatical crusade for a PS certificate?

The boards are what the contributors make them.

And you are correct when you say the boards are a joke. For the most part(Kat being one notable exception) they are, with 2 or 3 posters trying to influence thinking with their superior attitude. No matter how many times you disprove a "Bill" they just won't go away or give an inch!!

2. Increasing trend in low cost items with over inflated freight costs and now "insurance" to compensate for increasing ebay fees.Don't want to participate in this trend.

This post from 6719mark above is worth bringing up. I wish eBay would do something about it.X-(

hehehe

I can't remember what the program was called...but in Ontario Public Schools in the late 70's they had a phys-ed program where you could earn a badge based upon your skill achievement in 6 events. Unfortunately for me 4 of the six were based upon running speed and I wasn't too fast. As a result I always ended up with the bronze badge. In my mind it looked like gold and I would try to pass it off as such. 😉

Welcome mikeessner...and thanks for the funny reminder of my childhood.

Hi ebay. Just a thought, but I think this particular board should be axed. Seems outdated and doesn't meet its intended purpose. New Power Sellers coming here will read these posts first and many will turn tail and run.
Just my opinion.
