Hello everyone! I just made powerseller status on Ebay and I am excited about it! I hope that I can keep it up as it means that I am earning some money there and I have a lot more interest in selling on there.
I was wondering how many of us here are powersellers and if so, how long have you been doing Ebay? I am thinking of getting into dropshipping and thought that might increase my sales on there too.

Wow! Another long-time seller. I no longer sell much on Ebay unless I have a high-ticket item. The fees have all but stopped me from selling small toys, lower priced sportscards, etc
But I still buy quite often on Ebay and check out the site several times a week looking for supplies for my craft store.
Have a great day!

Yes, the fees are high and you do have to sell a certain amount on average of so many months but I am excited that I made it. I have now opened a store too and I will see how that goes.

I just wanted to drop by and say congratulations to you. That is just awesome that you've reached powerseller. I sell a little bit on ebay but not very much. I would love to have stuff that sold on ebay and I could do it full time.

I would like to do this full time too but I am not making that much money yet. I am trying really hard though and I hope that soon I can get to that point.

I sell on ebay but I'm not a powerseller yet, I have thought about doing dropshipping but after buying stuff from certain companies some of the stuff comes damaged i've had jewelry come to me missing stones so I would rather ship it myself considering I would get bad feedback, that is the only problem i have with ebay users some are very rude, one girl didn't like a baby phat necklace i sold she paid 99 cents and said should have mentioned the item was so fake, now i would have refunded her money instead she goes and leaves negative feedback without even contacting me, sometimes i wonder if i should keep selling or not.

There are always people like that around. I would just rack it up as experience and go on. If you like selling, then I would not stop. I enjoy it and so I will continue to do this while I can.

It's always good to hear some positive coming from sellers. Ebay has had quite a bit of negative flowing from sellers concerning their fees. It's always nice to hear that some sellers are still excited.
Good for you!!

Congrats on the Powerseller Status on Ebay.
My husband and I have been sellers on ebay for a while but are still making our way up to powerseller status.
As for drop shipping, just make sure you find a reputable company, and that you have researched the websites in their entirety. A ton of stuff on the web are scams so you have to be careful.

Glad to hear that you are working towards it. Do you have a store? I opened one yesterday and I hope it does well. I would like to make this a part of my work from home.
