Exciting things are happening at eBay Open this morning. Grab your popcorn and watch all of our announcements direct from Las Vegas. 

(the keynote begins at approx 10 mins in - skip ahead)

Just for info......they are announcing seller protection stuff at open......Wenig referred to it.  I don't think it will be broadcast tho........at least from what I can see on the ebay for business page.........

they did announce managed shipping.....i.e. pay ebay to warehouse stuff and there is an announcement on that

Not interested in anything Mr. Wenig has to say, as every decision he makes is only with investors in mind. GMV is down another 4% since he cut marketing budgets so he could give fat kickbacks to investors at the expense of ruining his sellers lives. He cares nothing about the people who truly make this place tick.

Every word out of his mouth is about how profitable ebay has been for investors, sellers just get more fees. Not to mention he's ripping sellers off with added 5% fees because too many of their buyers changed their mind. Anytime someone returns something and selects not as described as the reason for return, ebay says its the sellers fault.

Oh, and what about all those supposed new protections for sellers? Yeah, they don't exist. Right after announcing these supposed protections, he raised the fees from 4% to 5% for those sellers with a 2% return rate, which ebay says is too high.

Despite all the fees we pay, Mr. Wenig refuses to pay for any real advertising, but the freeloading shareholders get money for doing nothing.

Some "Economic Opportunity" he created by promoting counterfeit goods from China! See the image below, every listing is counterfeit, all of them! Notice ebay openly promotes counterfeit goods at the expense of ruining legitimate sellers lives. I sell real authentic games, yet ebay tells buyers to buy fake ones from crooked sellers.

The last video I watched of that guy showed him and some other dude saying that we "wouldn't recognize" eBay in two years because they were making so many changes. I made eBay a low priority after that because I didn't want to rely on a site that was going to completely reinvent it's self. That was a few years ago. I got out of the habit of listing here and eBay still looks the same. That dude is a bag of wind.

i don't know what medium they are using for this video, but i can see and hear on you tube, but not a single bleeping thing can i hear here.... Very Informative!

The video here does work, you just have to fast forward a little to reach the starting point. As for my rant, just venting I guess. Sick and tired of all of Mr. Wenig's broken promises that are nothing more than unending lies and deceit.

Hi Alan,

The embedded video link doesn't work.  I don't want to say like many things here, but it's hard not to. 

Hope all is well and you're enjoying the eBay Open.  Say hi to Wendy Jones for me, she should remember meeting me last year at eBay Headquarters.

I was on the phone this morning with Advanced Tool and Apps CS, and he implied Fall Update stuff was being announced today

The link works for me.  Chrome with Win 8.1.  You may have to turn off your ad blocker though.

Nice job of editing the clip though NOT - Weenie doesn't come on until 10'23" into the clip.   Until then you get to look as some ugly red screen.

Tagging: iPhone works too, but as mentioned you have to skip the beginning.
