Why Being A eBay Power Seller Can Seriously Damage Your Wealth 
By: Graham Waite
Most people could be forgiven for thinking that a high seller profile or Power Seller would be a desirable thing on eBay. Even eBay aficionados would have us believe this and yet there are successful traders out there that claim otherwise.
Staying below the radar is a tried and tested method of one of eBay's most experienced and somewhat renegade traders. Sydney Johnston has got to where she is now by actively going against the tide of typical Internet business behaviour.
After almost ten years of highly successful trading on eBay she is also the master teacher of a You can find her great course Auction Genius Course if you want Sydney to coach you, is superb for all levels.
The most accepted way of building a prominent profile on eBay is to look to build vast quantities of good quality feedback. Feedback being a vote of satisfaction from your customers on eBay
Becoming a "Power Seller" is an status all serious sellers on eBay are looking to achieve, as quickly as possible but an experienced and wise Sydney Johnson reminds us that this may not be always to our advantage.
"Once I was a Power Seller in fact for quite a while, but I started to think every one knows exactly what I am doing. So now I operate a under cover style operation with several account ID's with lower feedback and no one even notices my activity"
High seller profiling can backfire on a business when things go wrong. This can happen to the most professional outfits. Sydney had a delivery of soiled goods go out to several hundred customers. The supplier had always been reliable and she had had no reason to suspect that there were problems. It took time and effort to counteract the effects of the avalanche of bad feedback that resulted from this single issue.
Sydney might be a bit of a renegade but won't break the rules which eBay have continued to add with worrying regularity.
Although not a rule breaker she chooses to push the envelope. But Sydney is not just thinking as eBay as place to promote her products she is much to savvy for that. She looks at eBay as an hugely popular lead generation tool and looks to build her own customer lists cheaply and effectively to bring additional stability and sales to het business.
This is where she and other traders like her are not model eBay traders. They are independent thinkers who don't like to confine their business to just this one vehicle.
