Does anyone know if ebay still offers healthcare options to fulltime store owners? Platforms like etsy offer great options to look out for their sellers, and im wondering does ebay still offer healthcare options for store owners? Anyone with experience signing up? and where can you access the information?

The FAQ for that page reveals that it's from 2002.

eBay used to provide a health insurance option for Powersellers, but it was in the days before Top Rated Seller status even existed. It has never been connected to Store subscription participation, AFAIK.

They probably can't figure out a way to get a 10% FVF from it ....

On a more serious note, I simply would not trust them with my health insurance.

Hmmm ebay health insurance...

I could just imagine going into the ER having a heart attack and you show your ebay health insurance card and the ER docs file a SNAD against you, and kick you out the door!

^^ Or they order your new Heart from China, $3.95, shipping included. But wait, there's more .... It was a Multi Variation Listing and they really ordered a plastic heart charm.

Forget keeping up with the Joneses. Be the Finklegrubers!
OK kids, time to get the Dodge loaded up again. I hear 'Poppy's By the Tree' calling. This trip might be a long one too.

Didn't check the date, sorry. I recalled there was one with the PS program.

PowerSeller Program FAQ

PowerSeller Terms and Conditions

Back to PowerSellers Home Page NEW! Healthcare solutions is now available for PowerSellers' employees.

eBay is pleased to present Healthcare Solutions provided by Marsh Advantage America. Marsh Advantage America has compiled a robust list of options allowing you to pay only for the health care solutions to want. Marsh Advantage America is a service of Seabury & Smith, Inc., part of Marsh & McLennah Companies (MMC). Marsh Advantage America designs, manages and administers insurance programs.

Access to certain major medical plans normally not available to those outside of the PowerSeller Program. There are also additional healthcare plans available at competitive rates and with a simplified issue process.

Healthcare insurance is a very complicated issue - varying greatly by state and type of coverage. In the Healthcare Solutions program, Marsh Advantage America has worked to find plans that are available in as many states as possible along with providing for the unique situation of a small business owner. PowerSellers are not employees of eBay, and therefore, the insurance coverage cannot be supplemented as in many employer/employee relationships. Check our Healthcare FAQ for further details.

That was Meg Whitman's idea- getting a group health insurance policy for Ebay power sellers,but the insurance underwriters kill the idea,NO,the so called power sellers cannot be categoried ,it is not like lawyers,CPAs,doctors ,nurses,students.

Power sellers come from all walks of life,sex,age,health,education level,there is no way they can come up with a fair premium which they can applied to all power sellers

From all the low/no sales threads, many sellers should qualify for medicaid by now.

This suggestion is the most accurate response IMO. There is no guarantee as to what might be available at this date.
