SELLERS
Basics
Sellers create Jobs on PowerTemps to allow buyers to purchase their services.
Sellers may also offer Custom Offers to buyers in addition to their Jobs.
Each order you sell and successfully complete, accredits your account with a net revenue of 80{157c86a834524b37677aab83c75847fc61690c6606084b29176deda8ca578ec1} of the purchase amount.
PowerTemps accredits sellers once an order is completed. See our “Orders” section below for a definition of a completed order.
If an order is cancelled (for any reason), the funds paid will be refunded to the buyer’s Shopping Balance.
Revenues are only made available for withdrawal from the Revenue page following a safety clearance period of 14 days after the order is marked as complete. Top Rated Sellers are eligible to withdraw revenue following a safety clearance period of 7 days after the order is marked as complete.
Sellers may not promote their Jobs or any PowerTemps content via the AdWords platform.
Sellers may withdraw their revenues using one of PowerTemps’s withdrawal options.
The seller’s rating is calculated based on the order reviews posted by buyers. High ratings allow sellers to obtain advanced seller levels (see Levels below).
For security concerns, PowerTemps may temporarily disable a seller’s ability to withdraw revenue to prevent fraudulent or illicit activity. This may come as a result of security issues, improper behavior reported by buyers, or associating multiple PowerTemps accounts to a single withdrawal provider.

Levels
PowerTemps is all about helping sellers leverage their skills. We seek to empower top performing sellers with helpful tools to grow their business. Sellers who invest in self-promotion may achieve greater customer satisfaction. And, if they deliver on time and maintain high quality and ratings, PowerTemps may reward them with new statuses, special opportunities, benefits, and tools that come with it.
PowerTemps sellers can gain account Levels based on their activity, performance and reputation. The advancement criteria can be found here.
Advancement in Levels are updated periodically by an automated system.
The current Levels a seller can achieve are, Level 1, 2, and Top Rated.
Sellers who cannot maintain their high quality service, experience a severe drop in ratings, or stop delivering on time risk losing their seller status and the benefits that come with it. For example, late deliveries, warnings to the seller’s account and cancellations can cause a seller to move to a different Level.
Advanced levels provide their owners with additional benefits, including offering gigs for higher prices through Job Extras, or selling their Job in multiples.
Top Rated Sellers
Top Rated Sellers are chosen manually by PowerTemps editors through an ongoing review process based on seniority, volume of sales, extremely high ratings, exceptional customer care, high order completion rate and community leadership. Top Rated Sellers gain access to more extensive features than previous levels, including exclusive access to beta features and VIP support.
Top Rated eligibility is constantly evaluated by PowerTemps to ensure that the quality standards and expectations of the Top Rated selection is kept. Top Rated Sellers who cannot maintain their high quality service through a severe drop in ratings, stop delivering on time, increased cancellation rate or violate our Terms of Service risk losing their Top Rated status and the benefits that come with it.
