eBay announced a change to its PowerSeller program. It will now count sales on Half.com towards a seller's PowerSeller eligibility. Sellers will get credit for Half.com sales going back to November.

Among the requirements to join eBay's PowerSeller program at the minimum level are average minimum monthly sales of $1,000 for 3 consecutive months. Sellers who meet all the requirements for the PowerSeller program will receive an invitation later this month within "My Messages." (Do not be tricked by phishing emails.)

PowerSellers receive prioritized customer support, access to the PowerSeller discussion board, and email and print newsletters.
