What Is a PowerSeller?

PowerSellers are the most profitable sellers on the eBay site; that is, they generate the most profits for eBay. They don’t necessarily sell the most merchandise; instead, they generate the most revenue, which is how eBay generates its fees. Still, an eBay PowerSeller does a fair amount of business, however you measure it.

You can’t choose to be a PowerSeller—eBay chooses you, based on your past sales performance. If you’re chosen, you don’t have to pay for the privilege; membership in the PowerSellers program is free.
