So lets see if I can get a peek into the future, and see what eBay will be pushing in the Boot Camp.

[timemachine777]

In no special order:

Use Seller Hub data to determine your growth potential, Shipping: 1 day handling time, Guaranteed 3 day delivery, 30-60 day free returns, Free shipping, Labels, GSP, Use eBay-branded packing mat., Expedited shipping.

Make sure the buyer is always happy. Best offer, eBay store, use eBay pricing suggestions, Use mark down manager, use eBay Promotions, Buy ad campaigns, use Cross promotions. Use social media to send people to eBay. 

Use all the characters in the titles with focus on keywords, Add a description that describes the item as if you have no photos, data, use professional photos and add 12 photos. Also use catalog stock photos.

Use Seller Hub data to monitor and revise your listings and adjust them as recommend by eBay.

Does anybody else have some insight to add.

I am a drunk, I have a problem, I like booze

My wife says I have been in bed for a week.

( I could not say )

No not really

I like to tell tall tales.

If it starts with "you won't believe this"

Well.... you might think twice.

They were needed to advance my business didn't like it much,but in the real world of business you have to sometimes partner with folks you just don't like.... The crackheads mother and father own 3,000 storage units partnering with him got me into the business of buying storage units in the late 1980s when no one else was paying attention. When they sold out 3 years later partnership came to a end and time for me to move along...

I always avoided crackheads like the plague if I came across them. Around here, they tend to steal a lot to get high.

Everything sounds about right except those with the highest prices will stay on the bottom and never sell a thing. Those are the sellers who will be here complaining and blaming Ebay that buyers will not purchase their items.

I forgot to mention this earlier. I search many items by highest price first because I never know if there's a better version out there that I don't know about, also the seller might be selling the right assortment of items that I'm looking for, or even a better cond box for a MIB item that I want for a collection I'm building up. 

There are a myriad of reasons why Wenig's new platform would turn off millions of buyers/sellers. I for one wouldn't use it, as it would be a pain for me to search all the inventory quickly. I would only be shown what eBay wants me to see. It's bad enough that I have to use Google search to find more items on eBay, than what eBay currently shows me through it's own search engine.

We spent a summer in the cancer house.

They would not let you "smoke" on their block

Next door was a Wiskey bar owned by two dudes

we would all go over to the outside tables

They were cool, with us smoking there.

They had a little pit puppy named Jamison, after the drink.

You can't smoke inside or outside any bars in Maine. Even though I don't smoke, I never agreed with the outside ban. However, nobody really enforces the dives. 

BTW...I'm wondering how much eBay will be pushing promoted listings in their boot camp since it will likely be an important component to the new eBay platform being launched later this year.

Looks like a lot of the above ended up being highlighted in the Spring seller update.

It's the same just about everywhere anymore. I don't understand why bar/restaurant owners don't get together to say that if you own the property, pay the property taxes, business licenses and taxes, etc., that if they wanted to, they should be able to have a smoking section.

Or even open a smoking only bar/restaurant, if that's what they want to do. 

Pretty soon the govt will be telling us what we can and can't do in our own homes.

Local government has tried in many states. Some succeed while others fail. It unusually depends on the political demographics in the area affected. Liberal areas tend to embrace gov telling them what to do in their homes. Herd mentality, like here on eBay.

[d-k_treasures]

The day will never come where the govt will tell me what I can and can't do in my own home.

[lookng2015]

I recall Golden CO trying to tell people they couldn't smoke in their own cars.

Then why imply that timemachine did? Embarassed?

Of course not.

How about taking a peek just a wee bit farther into the future and tell us which upcoming Update will make everything you spend 4 weeks in the "boot camp" learning superfluous?
