How many years have you been with eBay?

Question

Funny I have been with eBay since 2008, and they are saying I have only been with them for 5 years.

Your Ebay profile says you joined in 2004: Your forum profile says you joined the FORUM in 2017: Ebay and the Ebay forum are two different things. I joined Ebay in 2003. I joined the forum in 2006.

Been rollin' with the punches since 1999. I've been an antique dealer since 1985 (my own stores, and antique shows), and then a man across the street with a small shop that sold coins said, "Hey, you really need to be on Ebay". I have been glad to have this outlet for sales. I think the first thing I sold was a vintage UFO book.

Ten percent of the U.S. population was not even born yet when I started selling on Ebay. Man I am old. ðŸ˜€

tdrake · Answer

I've been on eBay since early 1997, however I no longer have that ID and so now this ID is my oldest at Sept 1997. Other IDs since early 2000's.

I think my profile on this forum says I've been here since 2002, even though I first joined and posted on the eBay "boards" by 1998, mostly on the Discuss New Features (DNF) board, later the "New Board" (or something like that).

With this id since 2009, tho it was not my main gig until I opened the store in 2016. Before that it was mostly idle. It was a different name too.

You joined eBay July 29, 2004. You signed into the Community here for the first time 11-24-17.

reallynicestamps · Answer

Multiple IDs, but since 1998 with the oldest ID currently resting.

readabouthorses · Answer

I joined eBay June 8, 1998. I joined the current eBay Community 9-25-2005 but I belonged to the community we had before this one and probably joined that one when I started selling in October 1999 or shortly thereafter because I had lots of questions.

Who is "they" and where are "they" saying this?

If you are looking at your profile on this board, that date is when you registered for the eBay community forum, not when you created your eBay account.

@ishopbooks

Since 1999. I used to run a shop with my father in law. Unfortunately all the money we were making was magically appearing at the casino's, so in 2001 I started this site and ventured out on my own. Lots of changes. Some good, some not so good, but that's business I guess.

Have a great day.
