Well, I am a power seller, MG, also. Do I care one way or another? NO, I do not!! It does nothing for me! So, if I don't reach the magic goal, so be it. I have never found anything in the power seller services that meant ditz to me!

Based on M’s following quote, perhaps being a power seller is used to show prestige, or experience.

Perhaps buyers feel safer when they see the power seller icon. I’m not a seller, but doesn’t the seller have to apply to be a power seller? It’s not automatic is it? I assume it’s not mandatory? There must be some advantage to being a power seller?

I can't remember if I applied or what, Rick. It has been some time. However, at first I probably thought it was a big deal, but I cannot tell you of one time I have used anything they offer. If I were bidding, I do not believe it would mean anything to me. My feeling on it is neither here nor there. If I have it fine and if I don't fine. But, as a whole, I love Ebay!

I think this quote is a little out of context. It would be a little clearer if I knew what Mory asked me exactly. I doubt I was bragging, Rick.

“Bragging”? A slight perversion of my wording. I said, “Based on M’s following quote, perhaps being a power seller is used to show prestige, or experience.” Looking for the worst, first?

Rick, look at the headline of the first link you suppied!

Try reading more than the headlines. If nothing else, look for "Germany" and the comment about sniping services.

I gather that reading assignment was accomplished.

We definitely agree on that.

I have been 'offered' power seller status - I didn't ask. I haven't bothered since I can't see any advantage to anyone except ebay, and much as I love 'em, I've passed.

I DID read the whole thing for what it was worth, but I was commenting on the headline.

I just get cross eyed with all the quotes. ok...

Because you only get "power seller" when you make ebay a bunch of $$$ by selling a minimum amount monthly. A large amount!

Not being a seller, do you think that’s (losing power seller) good or bad?

I said....
Yea, the power seller logo. You have to continue to sell alot each month to have it. It really makes no difference to me. My feedback is good and that's what really counts.

If I thought I was paying ebay too much, I'd stop.

Hi, MG!

Hi M. I could use MGM for both.

Hi Mrs. M Hope you stayed dry with all the hurricanes.

Mg, so far they have skirted around me. Have to wait and see what this one does!

As long as you don't use a "P" it won't be hard on me.

Only at times does the thought cross some of our minds.

"Our"? Do you have a mouse in "your" pocket, or is it in "our" pocket? Is that like the "our" in "our forum"?

Makes you wonder, doesn't it, Rick?
