just received ebay PowerSeller invite, should I join?

[BillMac]

Looks like the ebay sale of my SD XServe pushed me over the top and I just received an invite. Anyone else here a powerseller? Benefits? Negatives? Ever had it revoked for not maintaining $1K/month in sales?

I'd accept. My brother is a PowerSeller and sells only sporadically. I think it helps his reputation, as he always seems to sell at above-average prices. Great job!

Check to make sure this message is also in your "My Messages" section of your eBay account. I've received 2 of these emails over the last 3 weeks that were very obvious Phishing scams.

Don't open your eBay account from the email message, they may very well just be skimming your account access.

Yeah, I've gotten phishing emails for Power Seller status before also.

Yes, I too have gotten very official looking emails and....they were scams.
