Somehow, I doubt he'll be missed. By the sellers at least.

I think the most helpful change eBay could easily make is to remove the "Buy it now" button from fixed price listings, leaving only "Add to cart," so that folks who buy multiple items will do that in one transaction instead of several.

There is nothing wrong with the "Buy it Now" button. That is absolutely the LEAST of the problems on this site.

Especially as that danged cart is wonky - I don't think it even works on mobile and my buyers (quite a number of whom are repeat and know what they are doing) sometimes cite that the add to cart doesn't work. In that case, no Buy It Now button would be a real inconvenience. I just wish they'd fix the constant glitches on this site, but have a feeling I know why they can't.

Who?
Sorry, I don't keep up anymore. Too many folks coming and going to even try.

Me either, but apparently this >
It was great having an ear to listen directly to the sellers. He has been outstanding with that.

I mentioned this here long ago and it was met with great opposition for some reason.

Harry has been a talented & dedicated member of ebay's leadership team.

'Thought leader' and 'visionary'. 🙄

Well now eBay could make some effort to make sure the shopping cart works properly--as it does on just about every other commercial site in the world. It is certainly in eBay's best interest to have a reliably working cart.
With managed payments it is critically important that buyers of multiple items be able to use the cart to combine purchases into one transaction since each separate transaction gets hit with eBay's 30¢ fee on top of the FVF. Low-priced items like sports cards, postcards, stamps, etc. simply can't be profitably sold if purchases can't be combined into one transaction.

Should Harry in fact leave, is there anyone currently within ebay being considered to assume his role of thought leader & visionary, Head of seller experience?
06-26-2021 08:17 PM
"Head of Seller Experience." LOL! Typical office pylon who knows nothing about being an eBay seller. Just creates idiotic ideas to save eBay money & make the selling experience MUCH WORSE! eBay marketplace was saved by COVID for about 15 months. Now it stinks all over again.

He can now hook up with his Buddy Wenig and maybe ruin another company. I wonder if ebay will pay him 40 Million dollars for leaving. Good Riddance!!!!
