PowerSeller status gets easier

I thought you were supposed to have no more than 2% negs, yet here is a PowerSeller with with more negs than that.

The whole PowerSeller label is total joke.

And no activity on the board either. And I just can't get excited about all the college hoops going on.

I beleive the PowerSeller status is evaluated at the end of every month. If one fell below the required status, one would loose the PowerSeller status at the end of the month not right away. The status is partially based on average monthly sales, which is not calculated until the end of the month.

Is till say it's way to easy to get PowerSeller status. So many of them would lose that label if they raised the standard to a more realistic 1% neg cutoff. There is no excuse for having more negs than that, especially when your rating is over 1k

Knowing eBay I think the dollar amount of the items you sell more then makes up for any feedback issues.

Remember the eBay Powersellers motto - QUANTITY not QUALITY.

Jeesh - the guy's feedback is only off by .3%. Maybe the rock buying community is a picky bunch...

Have Lee take you outside to play catch .

what I need to do is figure out exactly many negatives it will take to bring Kingcollectibles down from his powerseller status by buying up all those 9.99 reprint Frojoys? Let me get my calculator....

Tbob,

Take a look at a recent Ebay win from "KING" number 3903464746, maybe he dances around in his new shoes and sings some kind of song from the Frojoy Icecream days... "I'm so pretty, oh so pretty..." Kidding all. You sure can learn a lot about people when you see what kind of stuff they bid on.

For a big seller with thousands of transactions, a 2% bad feedback rate sounds low but represents 20 pissed off customers per 1000. That is 200+ people for a 10,000+ feedback seller.

When there is a new seller I don't know, or when the item is really expensive, I look not at the feedback score per se but also at the timing and raw numbers of bad feedbacks. Did the seller get hit with a cluster at the start of business that might be attributable to snafus with a new business or is the seller getting hit continually, representing an ongoing problem? What are the reasons given for the negatives? If I see even one fake or altered card complaint, I run like hell. How did the seller react to the negative? If they go into name calling and insane rants, I'm inclined to stay away, too.

97.6 is really 98
