End of Power Seller Program

[camelotgiftsandcollectibles]

So eBay just ended the Power Seller program. WooHoo! The gifts to sellers just keep on giving.

OMG.....I can print a official certificate for myself ....and hang in the bathroom along with my Boy Scout award, photo of Joe Biden, and my vaccine card!!!!!!!

Wow.

...it's not ended...it's "retiring"...(per eBay's message)

...celebrating a retirement...let's toast...!!!

...beer, wine, or cocktail...???

...forget about printing out the certificate as inks are so expensive and "green deals, climate controls, save a tree" for not wasting papers...take a screenshot instead, easier to show off when needed than running home to get the certificate...thanks to the modern digital time...

...another proof of "nothing will last forever"...

I stop caring about Ebay's recognition back when they started force feeding the Amazon model on all of the "little guys" around here.    The day will come (probably soon) when they tell everyone if they want to keep selling here, they have to be genetically modified, oh  excuse me... vaccinated.

Is there any notification from Ebay about this?

So what did we lose as a power seller?

[retailtechoutlet]

I tried to generate a certificate for kicks and giggles but its not generating... lol

If you are a TRS you didn't lose anything...the one surviving perk of being a power seller transfers to TRS status. If you are not TRS, you lose the seven day "grace period" when a buyer leaves feedback....for PS/TRS, a buyer must wait seven days before leaving a neg or a neutral...but if you are not a PS or TRS, the waiting period no longer applies. 

This is really just some long overdue housecleaning on ebay's part.

ROTFL............

We didn't even know we were Power Sellers.

But now we've got a spiffy piece of paper to prove it!

I considered it to be one of my better accomplishments in life.  I began selling here with no idea that I could achieve that status.
