eBay Live Console Updates!

[khalil@ebay]

Hi Sellers!

You asked, and we delivered. Does it get any better than that?

We’ve added several new features to the Seller Console interface, all designed to help you:

• Drive more traffic to your store

• Increase visibility and viewership per event

• Gain more flexibility and control

Check out the highlights below!

Livestream

• We relocated the livestream tab to the center of your Host Console. Also updated the LIVE icon on the front page of ebay live to make it easier for buyers to find. 
• You can now edit the price of any auction (AUC) or Buy it Now (BIN) item directly from the host console during the livestream.

Listing(s) Management 

• The Product section has been renamed to Listing management and shifted to the left side of the Host Console for easier access and visibility of your listings.
• Listings will now automatically update to show you the number of bids, accepted and rejected bids, the highest bidder username and remaining auction time.
• You can choose to update the Sequence of your listings directly from the Host Console during the livestream or set it up in advance through the “Listings” Tab

New Item Features

• You can now set items as  “Purchasable” in your store to enable your Live audience to buy them (note: this does not affect your Core listings).
• Items marked as visible can be viewed in the lineup, but not purchased.
• You can now Pin (ONE Item) to be featured on your screen. The item you Pin will have a “Featured Tag” in the item lineup

Final Sale

• When an auction ends the winner will automatically be displayed with final sale, price and “SOLD” mark.

Chat Tab

• You can now find the Chat tab on the right side of the Console.

I think the real question here is, how does any of this pertain to Pokemon Fridays?

Never heard of the "Live Console" & I'm a Mentor.   Is this being posted to the correct board?  The last post didn't seem to be.  We all asked a bunch of questions, none of which were answered & then your post was deleted.  

kyle@ebay  elizabeth@ebay devon@ebay  khalil@ebay  Can one of you clarify what this is & if it's pertinent to us?   I would hate to see a lot of time & effort wasted again, just like the other day when this person started a thread that referred to some customers as trolls.

I hate to say this but because we are now entering a long weekend we may not get any replies until next Tuesday at the earliest.

Given the extensive reaction that this person has provoked (there was an article in the Ecommercebytes blog about him as well) we should create a new thread about this next week in the event that this one gets deleted (as the last one did). It does not seem unreasonable to want some answers here.

@itsjustasprain  Oh wow, he made Ecommercebytes?  I gotta take a look.  I'll try to remember to page on Tuesday, but I'm going to mention it at the Mentor meeting anyway, so it will get some eyes on it even if the post disappears. 

Oh OUCH!  That's exactly the headline I expected.

This was as clear as lead shielding, and useful as the proverbial screen door on a submarine.   I think it has something to do with their version of Not What.

Reads like more unintelligible AI produced nonsense.

It's been suggested that it has been posted on the wrong board. But there isn't a fantasy section on these forums.
