Hi everyone,
It is with a heavy heart that I must announce my departure from eBay. I have accepted an opportunity with another company, and tomorrow will be my final day with eBay.
Though I am excited for what is to come, it is not easy for me to say goodbye. I have truly enjoyed my time working with such a mighty community. We’ve done a lot together since 2016 - from redesigning the platform, launching the eBay for Business podcast, executive engagement through Ask Me Anythings, to helping find answers for the complex issues that you face everyday, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it!
Getting to know each of you has been a real pleasure in every respect. I have learned so much from my time as your Community Manager, and I can’t thank you enough for the ways that you’ve helped me grow these past few years.
Not to worry, though I’m starting the next leg of my journey, your day-to-day team remains the same. The wonderful trio of Brian, Trinton & Tyler is still here to serve you, and I’m confident that you’re in good hands.
I wish you all the very best, and thank you again for everything.
Alan

I was afraid of this (didn't fool me with that answer)....... Considering the state of this Board when you came, there is no doubt about the fact we all owe you alot for your fairness and even handedness over the years. You've done alot and done it well. May the Force be with you in the future!
I knew you wouldn't be fooled! The timing of your question was spooky.
Thank you, @dhbookds. Hope you stop by my last Community Chat tomorrow 😁

Alan,
Thanks for making the ebay boards a cool place to hang out.
I wish you luck in whatever the future holds for you.
In a few years when you're ready to retire in Hawaii, hit me up. The first round of Mai Tai's is on me! 😃
Aloha and stay safe.
James
Yummy Mai Tai's! Sounds like a great deal, James! Aloha 🌞
