Power Seller Status

[14klippi]

I have just come off the "Answer Centre" and perhaps will get a bit more clarity here.

I tried and actually listed an item for sale and received a listing charge even though I had 18 free listings still left for April.

I have not received any notifications from Ebay regarding my "status" but after getting no satisfactory answers from the Answer Centre, I sent them an email asking why I was being charged.

They have now informed me by email that I am a BRONZE Power seller yet my Ebay page still shows that I have 18 free listings available.

When do they let you know of any changes in your situation?

And how do you become a Power Seller when I have sold a couple of hundred items for the whole time I have been on Ebay.  And since the free listings started I have only sold about a hundred or so items.  Ebay says I have sold $3000.00 between April last year to April this year.  Only because I sold a couple of items that had a good $ return.

So if you sold 1 item for over $3000.00 you automatically become a BRONZE Power Seller???

Just ranting I am.

Wonder when my free listings shown will be scrapped?

What fox said.

You did NOT give the same info there that you have here X-(

We can ONLY reply with the info you give!!!!

Sorry if I have upset anyone on the Answer Board but I did give the same info to both boards.  I only omitted to say that I had also contacted Ebay regarding this but they took over 5 hours to answer me and I immediately notified the answer board.  No one on the board said anything about Power Status and I had no idea that I was classed as one by Ebay.

So my apologies again to all - I really wasn't trying to be rude, crude or clever.
