Hi Maria,
You a're so right - keeping an eye on Powersellers that sell in a similar category to you is a great idea!
The easiest way is to just search for items and look for the Powerseller symbol or the Top Rated Seller symbol next to the item in search results.
If you click this link you should be able to see some Top Rated Seller badges:
