i would have thought this sentence;; "You are receiving this communication because you are part of the PowerSeller program," more correctly would have read: "...you WERE..."

Hi myoldtoy, I received the same one this morning also. The way I read it I thought they are giving you a month to pull up your sales, if not they pull the power seller status. This was the slowest month I ever had on ebay.

I just got a warning that next month I won't be silver anymore unless I get my butt in gear and list a bunch of stuff. WAH! WAH!
I'll be missing out on SO MANY benefits I don't see how I'm going to get by. You poor "bronzies"- I'm coming to join ya!
I do like the PS message board on eBay, but I've never used any of the other so-called perks of Powersellerness.

its was like given to you[us], right? four years ago, i had a powerseller tell me it was so important because the bidders didnt screw around with a powerseller..ha!!!
----------
and this group of people should have a fraternity - i am sure we have all busted butt to do the very best we could.- because that is what an entrepreneur is all about...it is many times the passion, not just the buck...\
-----
as i said, i dont plan of crying in my beer. the "badge" is nice, but it really means nothing to many - i put myself in that class - and while i believe in self help first, to tell me to "read the instructions," and i can become a p/selller again is the extent of what they are worth.
------------
having said all that, i am also sorry only that others have had their business deteriorate for whatever reason, that cannot be controlled.

wellllllllll, i been to an auction, bought me some more junque...now i am going to the beach[bar]...

I got the same "dear john" e-mail from eBay this morning about my "Bronze" powerseller status being in jeopardy. Big whoop! Are they going to demote me to plastic? I would print out their e-mail and use it for toilet paper, but why waste the ink and the paper?
Gee, all the bronze power sellers' perks I'm gonna lose.....how will I ever survive? I guess Meg isn't going to send me the private jet to whisk me off to the convention in New Orleans....guess I'll have to hitchhike. And the suite at the Hilton they were going to give me.....guess I'll be panned off on the Motel 6. I suppose I'll have to return the company car to the San Jose headquarters, too.
What a shame....I'll miss that Mercedes!
