If I'm understanding correctly, to become a (bronze?) power seller, I need at least 100 global transactions with at least $1000 dollars in sales for the past 12 months. I meet these requirements yet I am not a powerseller, am I understanding this incorrectly?

if you just got to 100 transactiosn this month, you'll get aftet next monthe evaluation which will use the numbers until the end of Oct

thanks but I dont think thats the problem because in my seller performance dashboard i already exceeded the number of transactions required for top seller status

I remember when Powerseller was $1000 a month.

I remember when it was $3,000 a month back in 1999 when I became a PowerSeller and it really meant something to be a PowerSeller.

Powerseller status is checked by eBay once a month. It's the numbers on that date that count.

And it's not just transactions and sales values, there are other criteria.

Thanks, I think I know what the problem is.....my account was registered with ebay.com some years ago....I need to change the registration to ebay.ca

No, you do not need to change anything.

Registration with eBay.com (legacy users) is not relevant to PowerSeller requirements.

then the ebay representative told me inaccurate information

I do meet all the global powerseller requirements. the requirements for the number of transactions for top seller is also CHECKED in my dashboard. I also have way more than 1000 dollars in sales for the past 12 months, yet the powerseller requirement is NOT checked in my dashboard, I'm really confused as to why

What are the requirements?

To qualify for the PowerSeller program, sellers need to consistently sell a significant volume of items, provide a high level of service to their buyers, maintain a positive Feedback score, and meet the requirements for detailed seller ratings and eBay Purchase Protection and PayPal Purchase Protection case standards. Membership in the program is free.

You don't need to apply for the PowerSeller program. If you qualify, you'll automatically be included. Just check your Seller Dashboard to see if you've achieved PowerSeller status. PowerSeller levels include Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Titanium depending on the number of items you've sold or the dollar amount of your sales.

If you're not a PowerSeller yet, you can always work your way up by meeting these requirements:

Be registered with eBay for at least 90 days.
Have an account in good standing.
Maintain a positive Feedback of 98% or higher over the past 12 months.
Follow all eBay policies.
Have a minimum of 100 transactions and $1,000 (effective June 1, 2012) in sales with Global buyers over the past 12 months.
Receive at least a 4.60 average from Global buyers across all 4 detailed seller ratings (DSRs).
For all transactions with Global buyers, have no more than 1.20% of transactions with low DSRs (1s or 2s) on item as described, and a maximum of 2.40% of low DSRs on communication, shipping time, and shipping and handling cost.

If your account falls below these requirements, you may lose your PowerSeller status.

Thanks pierre, I can confirm that I do meet all of those requirements, as can be seen in my seller performance dashboard for global top seller requirements

pierrelebel · ‎10-21-2013

So, if any of these requirements was achieved at some point this month (October), your eligibility to the PowerSeller program becomes effective sometime next month (November). eBay will let you know.
