Chapter 3: Attaining PowerSeller and Top Rated Seller Status
In This Chapter

When you browse through items on eBay, you're bound to notice a Top Rated Plus icon next to a member's User ID. To the uninitiated, this may look like an award given to a seller for selling thousands of items on eBay — but it's not. The eBay Top Rated Plus status is given only to those sellers who uphold the highest levels of professionalism and customer service on the site. Take a look at mine in Figure 3-1.

There are three levels of upgraded status for eBay sellers:
- PowerSellers: These members have to maintain certain monthly levels of gross merchandise sales (total dollar amount of eBay sales — GMS in eBay-speak), and they must get there by providing excellent customer service.
- Top Rated Sellers: eBay sellers at this level don't have to have as large volume of sales as an eBay PowerSeller, but they face stricter customer service requirements.
- Top Rated Seller Plus: Only the sellers who fully commit to their businesses get this status. In searches, only Top Rated Plus sellers have badges next to their listings.
