Power Seller Criteria - Vote it Out

[indconcepts]

Hello Everybody,

There are changes in the Power Seller Criteria which raises the minimum average Sales required from Rs.5,000 to Rs.20,000.

Is it justified ?

ebay-India is trying to match it with ebay-USA where the criteria for Bronze Power Seller is $1000.

Taking into account that 1$ = Rs.40 .... Power Seller status should have been at Rs.40,000 worth of Sales per month. But Indians are being offered at a Sales figure of Rs.20,000. (50% discount)

But what ebay-India is not looking into is the amount of Sales an average Seller is having.

On ebay-USA there are more than 1.5 crores Live Listings as compared to ebay-India where there are just 1.25 lakhs Live Listings. There are massive Sales on ebay-USA and $1000 criteria is quite justified.

Upholding Community Values, maintaining 98% Feedback, clean ebay account and complying with all Policies .... All these have taken a back seat and Sales figure of Rs.20,000 have overnight become the Main criteria.

Apart from status PS Logo ... ebay was distributing packing material to all Power Sellers. This was the only recurring expense which ebay India was shelling out of their pocket. Now it seems that it has started pinching ebay-India and wants to reduce the Power Sellers in India.

So rather than denying the Packing material they seems to have come up with an immediate solution .... 🙂

Many New Sellers I know where just working hard to achieve this status PS logo .... would definitely be discouraged now as the target has been increased 4 folds.

I feel the increase from Rs.5000 to Rs.20000 should have been over a period of 1 year. This would have given reasonable time to serious sellers to work hard and push their sales. Un-realistic goals cannot encourage anybody to attain the targets.

This ebay step is not to encourage Seller's to achieve higher Sales but it's a specifically created Criteria to knock down the number of growing Power Sellers.

I am sure that the existing Power Sellers with much higher Sales would support this ebay move.

I am also sure that serious Sellers with lower Sales would not favour this at all.

It's just a debate to see how many are in favour and how many against it.

So guys ..... just VOTE it out.

Are you in FAVOUR ..... or ..... are you AGAINST it ? .

My vote is AGAINST too.

It is not possible to raise sales to Rs. 20,000 per month for 3 consecutive months. I have seen many ups and downs each month since one and a half year of my business with eBay. If my sale goes down in any month then will my PowerSeller status will be lost? This is very strange!!!?:|

for casting your Votes.

Let's all show ebay that it's not the right move.

Every now and then Sellers are shot with surprises which is not healthy for the growth.

Let the average Sales of regular Sellers increase 4 times .... or a prior notice of atleast 1 year should be there before this Criteria is changed.

It seems ebay-India is more inclined towards International Sales where a Sales of Rs.20,000 is sometimes achieved by just one single Order.

It clearly shows that ebay-India is not interested in Indian Sellers trading Nationally because most of the ebay's revenue at the moment is coming from Sellers who are selling Internationally.

ebay must review this change to show that Sellers selling Nationally are also an important part of ebay-India. .

Being my self a silver powerseller, this doesn't affect me much. But what about the new power sellers who are working hard, its really heart-break for them. ---------------

Just transfered my voice from other post to here....

My Vote: AGAINST

Dear eBay India Team,

I request you to reconsider this policy change.

Even eBay.com is kept a limit $1000 for joining PowerSeller program, which is 38000 in Rupees in real value.

For country like India, so many people are living with as small as less than a $1 income daily.

The 20,000 policy will wipe out many good sellers from PowerSeller program, who are genuine and doing small business and good service. This is going to bring down the quality of the business process, so sellers below 20000 average not going give good service, any way they don't get PowerSeller Status, even if they work hard.

I do agree that 5,000 is low, better make it 10,000 instead of jumping the limit in four fold.

Look like eBay is going to keep only jewelery sellers, what about rest of us ?. Even Business Badshah (Bad-Shah's ?) contest Laptop's are won by jewelery sellers, i am not happy about that, equal opportunity is not given for all. Kindly note because we also here, they are getting business. If no variety no sales.

Don't trash the small ants for supporting big Elephants.

So don't try to trash us out ....

Thanks and regards,
CoolBrasCo.
