Hi Community, 

 

This week we would like to use the Community chat to talk about and answer any questions you may have about eBay Open and also use this as a reminder that the deadline for submissions for our SHINE awards is fast approaching. If you have questions about buying & selling that's fine too, please share. 

eBay Open - for those that didn't attend last year, during the last week in July, over 1,000 sellers and eBay staff will take over the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. We'll bring you three action-packed days of learning, networking, fun and celebrations! Tickets for the event are going fast, if you're interested, be sure to sign up before they sell out! Full info via this link

 

The SHINE Awards - recognize inspirational small business sellers. Share your story for a chance to win fantastic prizes designed to grow your business. The closing date for entries is May 19. Full info via this link.

 

Lastly, we want to hear your feedback about our Weekly Community Chat. We want to make sure that the chat evolves to meet your needs, so please take this short survey to let us know what we could do to improve. 

 

Thanks & speak with you at 1 pm on Wednesday. 

Alan - eBay Community Manager

Don't worry, Tyler, that excitement won't last long.  Ask the others.  This can be a tough crowd (with good reason, of course).  Make sure you have your thick skin on at all times.  😉

Great! 45.8% down over the same time last year with 2x+ items listed. Are you impressed? I'm certainly not!

Will you be opening up promoted listings for single items any time soon?

If submitting an application for the Shine Awards, and a seller qualifies for more than one category, can separate essays be sent for each category, or is the same single essay applied across all categories?

Hi, @relaxintowealth - this has been in beta testing for a while, and we'll have more info on this soon - keep an eye out. Also, we're going to have a Community chat on the topic of Promoted Listings mid-June with the manager of that feature. 

 

Thanks!

That sentiment might only last a few weeks. People here are very critical, but you can hardly blame them considering a lot of them have their entire livelihood invested into this website, so any issue and frustrations get taken out on the closest ones they can find; You guys.

 

But I'm sure it's not all THAT bad.

Alan, will that be before or after promoted listings for single items is rolled out?
