·1 year agoInteresting - looks like eBay is soliciting questions for VP Seller Experience Xiaodi Zhang to answer live when you register for the check in.
Nice addition and hopefully they'll be open to allowing professional but maybe a little tough questions to filter through too. 😉

·1 year agoWhat would you ask? Or what would be examples of questions you think would be worthy enough without being info that she'd likely refrain from sharing?
I'm drawing a blank, myself. But maybe we in the Community could toss around some ideas and arrive at agreements on a few questions for someone to ask, rather than everybody going commando at it separately.

·1 year ago@gurlcat I don't expect it to be answered 😂 - but I asked when eBay plans on fulfilling their 2023 promise of moving seller provided item specifics and descriptions above any ads on the "new" View Item page design.

But seriously, since it specifically asks for questions about product features like listings, coupons or product research - I would think anything on those topics should be fair game.
As far as everyone going commando, that appears to be how eBay wants it?
It's just a single text box on the sign up page when you register for the event, so it seems to me that what they're looking for is for anyone planning to attend to make a suggestion and then I assume they will select some of them to read and answer live at the Check In.

·1 year agoI am hoping for more than just another tease during this Seller Check In regarding Open 2025...

OP1 year ago@mcdougle4248 Well, I think they said Open will be in August, so I am guessing they will announce details at the Check In.....unless they actually WANT only a few people to sign up. Most people need time to make arrangements for something like Open....and waiting till May is already pushing the limits for many people.

Yes, they said August. I agree they are pushing the limits for people (including me) to make plans.

·1 year agoNice to see that VP Seller Experience Xiaodi Zhang has carved out some time in her busy schedule to finally attend a Seller Check In after ~2.5 years back at the company. 😂
Aside from pre-recorded videos at eBay Open and occasionally showing up at invite only in-person events with "select" sellers, she hasn't done much in the way of "seller engagement" in the last few years and has certainly not been anywhere near as hands-on as Harry Temkin was in that role before her.
I know a lot of sellers miss Harry's live demo sessions on Seller Check Ins -would love to see Xiaodi bring them back!
