Basically, Powerseller status is the status which many eBay sellers wanted to achieve, as with this status, you gain recognition, respect, and trust which indirectly lead to increased sales and profit.

Here are the proven secrets from several top eBay sellers:

Secret No. 1: Accept every form of payment as much as possible

Powersellers make it as easy as possible for their customers to pay for an item by giving them as many options as possible. Many sellers are opposed to accepting credit cards because of the fees that credit card companies charge. However, with the increased sales that one can make by allowing credit card payments, the total sales achievable can definitely be a lot higher than the credit card charge.

In a nutshell, when you are open for more forms of payments, you will receive more bids and sales.

Secret No. 2: Start with the lowest bid possible and avoid reserve bids

Many sellers are terrified of starting their auctions at $0.01 and not having a reserve price. They are afraid that they might end up selling the item with a loss. This is untrue as an auction is capitalism at its best for whoever is willing to pay the most gets the item. Basically, whatever the highest bid ends up being is what the item is worth at.

Secret No. 3: Maintain a Good Level of Customer Service

Deliver your products promptly, respond to customer queries quickly, describe your products accurately, and you should have no trouble gaining at least 98% or above positive feedback.
