Can somebody tell me what is the purpose of being a Powerseller? Do we get special powers or something? Do we get special privileges in comparison to members with non-powerseller status?

It's a cheap attempt by eBay to make you think you are "special". If you get to gold+ level you get telephone support and maybe a (near useless) "account manager".

Really the only thing you get is the chance to come to the .ca or .com powerseller boards, the only boards where posting id's a banned.

Well and there's also this, (taken off the Powerseller portal page):

Attract more buyers to your listings with FREE Keyword Ads up to $200 value!

Which seems to be either defunct or not working. Too bad because something like it that worked might not be a bad benefit.

Who knows, maybe they'll come up with something else.

The whole free keyword thingy went the way of the dinosaur about a year ago when ebay brought in yahoo keywords.

i think ebay thinks it gives buyers a higher sense of security maybe, when they see the powerseller status next to the seller's id?

And all you're waiting for is a certificate...I heard USA Powersellers get t-shirts & mugs...

I've been a Powerseller for a few years now (maybe 5?) and I haven't received anything. My advice...don't hold your breath or else you'll turn blue.

Ooops...you already have! 😛

Unless things have changed in the past year or so that I haven't been checking the US board, the US powersellers get the opportunity to BUY t-shirts and mugs. They are able to access eBay's PS store where they can pay too much for stuff and pay S&H that eBay would accuse us of fee-avoidance if we tried to charge that much! Some of them did get a mug for Christmas one year - most didn't.

By the way the certificate and business cards I got on my other ID were not usable they were so poorly printed - blurry and mispelled! I tossed them ... Haven't gotten anything on this ID

One of the benefits of being a Powerseller that I quite enjoy is getting to read other Powersellers Posts in the chat boards. Monique and Anne are my particular favourites. Followed closely of course by Bill and Recped.
