I don't think Powerseller checks anything. Just accept and that's it. They don't ask for any info.

anyone else know if i will get connected to my other account if i accept this powerseller status ? thanks

Why do you think you'll get connected? Be methodical!

no you wont, but being a powerseller does not mean squat....

I got suspended last year, went over to a plan b account and after a while got offered a new PS award. I took it up and ran with for a while. didn't stop me getting items removed or anything though.

I think it's only a tool to help you look better in the eyes of buyers, I got no sense they vet you closely or anything. you should go for it.

it is good, but you are held to a higher regard based on ebays eyes so you are watched closer in my opinion than before. Thats just my opinion thats how those fly by weekers get by so easy selling and ripping off folks cause they dont accept that stupid powerseller certificate in the mail and icon
