I have to ask....I have been beating my brains out selling, selling, selling! I see PowerSellers selling for one penny and one dollar. I try it and lose my butt! I cry all the way to the post office. I have compared my items with others in my field and I even see some of mine better. What does it take? Or if you can't share any secrets.....give me a little hint!

It's fairly simple, you just need to maintain a minimum $2000 sales 2 out of 3 months consistently and maintain I think a 98% positive feedback ratio. I am a silver power seller but I do not display the icon.

Pat72529:
I think the reason that they can get away with the penny sales is:
Over the time spent selling they have developed a following of customers.
Thus they have many people looking at their items and bidding.
Where sellers like myself, and maybe you mostly get buyers who find us in a search or stumble on us.

I haven't grossed $2000 and I haven't paid $2000 in listing fees. Don't want to do that either. I am getting a following slow but sure. I'll just have to be patient I guess and keep plugging.
