A special surprise from one of our ebay leaders? Is ebay going to announce that Ryan Cohen is the new CEO? (LOL-----Only kidding!)
The real surprise for me will be if ebay --in the session on store and offsite ads---actually tells us when the NEW custom store ad feature will actually become available. This was announced in JANUARY, and allegedly is in a phased rollout, but with zero evidence of any such rollout.
Of course, maybe the surprise will be that ebay Lives will now be open to all sellers of all types of merchandise. (and by the way, it's a little surprising to me that there isn't a special session devoted to ebay Lives.....ebay is clearly emphasizing that this year.
Or maybe ebay is going to zero selling fees for smaller sellers (with buyers paying fees instead)----which was most recently announced in Australia, I believe.
Or......what's your guess? Oh, go ahead, play along....

·4 months agoThanks for the reminder. In reading the announcement, I was hoping to see a dedicated segment on the pros & CONS of AI. I hope they're prepared for the tidal wave of questions. 🫣
