PowerSellers rank among the most successful eBay sellers and we're proud to recognize and reward your contributions to the success of the eBay marketplace. That's why we're making a number of important changes that may affect you:
- Reduced Listing Fees
You asked, we listened. We're reducing Insertion Fees and adjusting Final Value Fees to lower your up-front cost to sell on eBay. You wanted free Gallery, now you've got it--plus more feature discounts. - Rewards for great sellers
There will be discounts and incentives for those who satisfy customers best. Who decides who gets rewarded? Customers do, by giving sellers high Detailed Seller Ratings (DSRs). You get: - Feedback Changes
Significant changes coming soon will increase buyer confidence and showcase good sellers.- Buyers will only be able to receive positive Feedback.
- Positive repeat customer Feedback will count and Feedback more than 12 months old won't.
- Negative and neutral Feedback left by the buyer will be removed for transactions in which a buyer doesn't respond to the Unpaid Item (UPI) or if the member is suspended.
