That is very neat.  I wish I qualified.  Good luck to those who do.

Do you know other sellers whose stories are worth sharing?

[jewelbiz]

I applied.

[nmemoryof]

Um....no.  I guess not.

Speaking of which, I think this would be cooler if buyers nominated sellers.  Give the buyer a gift certificate for his trouble or something.  But let the buyers tell stories of excellent service.

Good luck. 

I'm not successful enough to toot my own horn with any kind of sincerity.

Hey! 

You know exactly 5 years ago, May 24, 2014, I had a catastrophic accident and was in the hospital 2 weeks and in a rehabilitation nursing home 3 months...

I didn’t know if I could ever walk again.

I never did go back to the flea market where I sold antique & vintage jewelry for 31 consecutive years but here, EBay, where I at that time also sold for 16 years, knew that would be available & open for me and my business no matter what.

EBay helped pull me through.

That's a great story.  I like the focus on how eBay helped you rather than on how wonderful you are.  IDK.  I was raised in a different generation.
