When it comes to success of eBay most are lead to believe the ultimate goal is to become a eBay Power Seller. However it would seem others have a different view of this.
Wanting to keep under the radar is a proven method used by one of eBay top sellers who would regard herself as a bit of a rebel to convention. By going against the masses Sydney Johnson has managed to create a eBay business others only dream of.
eBay veteran Sydney gives you the opportunity to master her unique form of business with her Auction Genius Course which go against the tide of current thinking to give an almost unfair advantage.
The most accepted way of building a prominent profile on eBay is to look to build vast quantities of good quality feedback. Feedback being a vote of satisfaction from your customers on eBay
Whilst the majority of people will eventually obtain that coverted “Power Seller” status which brings its own advantages Sydney Johnson reminds us that it may not all be good news.
“I was a Power Seller for a while, until I started realizing that I don’t want to draw attention to myself. So what I do now is have lots and lots of IDs with low feedback - and I purposefully keep it low and keep my head down so that nobody notices me.”
High seller profiling can backfire on a business when things go wrong. This can happen to the most professional outfits. Sydney had a delivery of soiled goods go out to several hundred customers. The supplier had always been reliable and she had had no reason to suspect that there were problems. It took time and effort to counteract the effects of the avalanche of bad feedback that resulted from this single issue.
Sydney is a rebel but she is not a rule breaker and eBay has plenty of rules, many more than it had when it first started.
Although not a rule breaker she chooses to push the envelope. But Sydney is not just thinking as eBay as place to promote her products she is much to savvy for that. She looks at eBay as an hugely popular lead generation tool and looks to build her own customer lists cheaply and effectively to bring additional stability and sales to het business.
Few eBay traders are aware of the endless potential eBay afford them and lack the independent thinking to see the bigger picture.
