It did mean something at one time. But that was a long time ago.
With PS ending and Concerige ended, there is likely a "new" system e-bay intends to implement or expand.
Had forgotten about PS until the email came. Cert never printed - they used to mail you one. A memory lane thing, nothing more.
They started it a few years back. It is the TRS program.

How is the removal of this program doing that? This program has had NO benefits for YEARS other than the one regarding buyer's ability to leave negative of neutral feedback. The PS program allowed for a week grace period after the purchase where the buyer wasn't allowed to do this. That is the ONLY benefit to the PS program for the last several years.
Even the PS badge wasn't visible to anyone but the seller and Ebay. Buyers didn't know anything about that either for years.
So back to the question, how are they doing what you accuse them of doing exactly?

The payment system is horrible. the return system is terrible. I have had buyers completely rip me off. if one of my high end items sells you can be sure it is someone who just wants to replace their broken item. here are just some of the experiences.. sold a valuable bone china statue different broken item returned. sold a watch the person removed the expensive mechanism. sold some trading cards and they removed every valuable card and sent back the junk ones. empty boxes come back as returns. EBay loves these people. EBay rewards fraudsters. EBay sellers are not treated with respect. eBay keeps changing the rules of the game to benefit themselves. look at the PayPal love affair. they squeezed big money out of it, then its gone..
I now have to wait until Wednesday of next week for the money of an item i sold on a Thursday this week to reach my bank account..
even if the power seller icon did nothing, so what it was cool and felt good...very unhappy by just knowing that we will loose more and more with this company ...
You realize that you and Ebay were the only ones that saw that badge. No buyers or anyone else for that matter could see it.
Why do you have to wait until Wednesday. Are you doing the Weekly Payout on your MP account?
