Email in a special place on my email account
I put a question to the community board and I got a response from them in a special place above my inbox, not part of my emails. I saved it for awhile but now it is gone. Can I get it back? Does anyone know what I am talking about?
Resolved! eBay upfront
Shouldn’t they be condensed down to one and then sub categories for cities?Not important, just an observation.
Fading to obscurity ...
... I've been wondering if The Community is fading to obscurity? Weekly Chat involvement seems to be down as does the number of folks logged in here during the day ... less then 7K ... out of what, 25 MILLION Selling IDs and over 165 MILLION Buying a...
There used to be, long, long ago...
Long ago, in a...wait, never mind. A long time ago, Ebay used to run a Suggestion Box, where you could post, well, suggestions. It disappeared a long time ago, possibly when Lithium took over for LiveWorld, or maybe in one of the many Board revisions...

Is this new or have I just been oblivious for years?
I've always been annoyed when reading the board when a poster responds to a question or opinion without using the quote feature, so it's difficult to follow the conversation. They reply to a poster, but then I'd have to go searching for the original ...
Resolved! 1st to Answer a Community Question
Time to ask but feeling kinda dumb. It must be easy but I don't see how to answer a Community person's post if nobody else has answered before me. There's nothing there to click on! What the heck am I missing? Thanks eBay professionals.
Community question
While trying to volunteer information to a post, and clicking on their listings to help them...Does looking at their listings mess up search results on eBay or other search engines for the volunteers? ThanksNot a main concern, just curious.
A Thought For the Buying Board to Promote Sellers
