Hey *Rockstar* I'm Trying to Understand all your Vested Time? Say 5 to what 40 Hours a Week?

[fairdeal*lb]

Most all you do a great job on general questions, and Yes we should all Thank you. Is it really all charity to the community with nothing in it for you, nothing at all? I believe in giving back too but Wow Hats Off..

Not sure who your post was directed to. But, What I get out of helping in the community is the ability to help others understand how ebay works and the satisfaction it brings whether my advice is taken or not.

Believe it or not there are many who think anyone who sticks up for Ebay (actually just gives facts of Ebay's rules or gives advice on how to get more sales), gets paid. Personally I thought I would receive my first check in the mail for $2,000 by now but no luck so far.

Speaking only for myself ... why do you assume there is nothing in it for me?

I learn something new on this board every day. It keeps me informed of trends, issues, policy changes, how to list better, tips about how to source inventory (mostly how not to) , and what to avoid selling.

It's just the 800-Pound Gorilla here for all of us to see. Based on your post- you should be commended too..

He can't be talking about me.

Everybody loves me.  😉

@inhawaii 

Yes they do! 🌴 🏖🐬

[soh.maryl]

Well, hope springs eternal, as they say.

But, hey, will you let us all know when you receive that check because I'm pretty sure several of us should get one also.

I'm impressed, incredible Goodwill..

If your implication is that you believe we (secretly, of course) are getting paid, then you're severely misguided.

And, yes, it takes guts to come here week after week and be called a shill, an imposter, an eBay employee, among many other labels.  And to be told not to post to someone's questions.

I, too, have learned a lot more on the Boards than I've ever learned from other eBay sources.

Most of us do a great job? 

[vintagecraze50]

I am on here most of the day on and off with my store so I do not consider being here like a job. Mostly, I enjoy the supportive feel here for myself and when people post with a dilemma I think it helps when we can validate that posters feelings and give them some info or supportive posts to help them move on.

Well touche then. Indeed most of you do, on general questions.

I don't know of anyone who regularly posts advice here to think it it 'charity with nothing in it for us' 

It is a 2 way street since nobody is 'forced' to post or cross-post.

I enjoy guiding eBayers in a better direction if they are in danger of hurting themselves and I, like others who have posted, learn what is going on generally with both ebay staff and ebay sellers/buyers.

We also stick together when we know it is needed, despite some of our sarcastic or 'losing our patience' remarks.

I too give Hats Off to all the contributors in the eBay community 🤗 both staff and non-staff alike 

Thank you for your post 😍
