According to a recently published list of the top 10,000 sellers on eBay (as of September 2006) published by Sellathon.com - a site that tracks eBay sellers by their feedback - some interesting trends are developing:
- 25% (8) of the top 32 US sellers (129,714 feedback or greater) are either NARU (Not A Registered User) or are inactive (No longer sell on the site)
- 8% of the top 500 sellers worldwide are either NARU (Not A Registered User) or are inactive (No longer sell on the site)
- My former user ID GlacierBayDVD is still #8 on this list even though I haven’t been doing business on ebay since mid February of 2006.
- 18 of the top 50 sellers list primarily on eBay's International site (Germany has 16, UK has 1 and Canada has 1)
- 37 of the top 50 sellers have seen a decline in positive feedback Year over Year for the month of Sept.
- The top 4 sellers/user id's on eBay are all the same company (Eforcity, EverydaySource, Itrimming, and AccStation)
- The top 10,000 eBay sellers range from 8333 total feedback at position #10,000 to 410,805 at position #1
- 9594 sellers on eBay out of the top 10,000 have less than 50,000 feedback.
- 7 of the top 42 active sellers have Feedback ratings of less than 98%
I appreciate you that you have done some interesting research into the state of the eBay Power Seller.
