What's your BEST IDEA that would BEST IMPROVE eBay? Let's play along everybody 🙂  

As some of you know this is kind of a spin-off from another post that had a little more non-related hit-n-run. I'll submit mine here soon.

These type of threads make no sense/serve no purpose.

E-Bay does not read these boards.  The best ideas could be posted here and it would not matter - e-Bay is not listening, reading, clamoring for the every thought on a Community chat board.

Fair enough.. I worked for the largest tire wholesaler in the world that presented the same question. They gave away a Brand New Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Loaded.. 

It was fun and productive.

Anyway Happy 4th

Understood.  It would be great if e-Bay wanted or solicited true input from those who post, sell, buy on this site. 

But that would be too easy. 

Some amazing ideas have been shared over the years - e-Bay live (when it was live) comes to mind.  I attended in Chicago and the panel sessions/interactive sessions were great.  Except nothing ever seems to happen with what is shared - same with weekly chats, Chats with Griff over the years.....

People making the decisions are not "users" of the site.  They should be, but are not.

OK, I'll play along since I'm sitting here waiting for my taters to boil.

     I would definitely implement a contact number that sellers can get updates on their items being authenticated. And have these places be upfront to the seller of why it failed or if there is a problem. Sometimes these sellers are sending thousands of dollars worth of inventory to an authentication place and holding their breath. This needs to be done or these programs will fail.

     On a lighter note, I seen an advertisement for ebay today on the history Channel watching Counting cars, 😆 I've met Danny the count before, he's a cool dude!

Wow! I can relate to both.. I sold a pair of high end Nike's only to be shot-down by one of eBay's so called experts. We took them to the Nike outlet which disagreed with the eBay expert. In short we ended selling them for even more money on Mercari.   

As to the lighter, as we know Counting Cars and Pawn Stars are somewhat connected. A producer from Pawn Stars reached out to me on a item I had listed here on eBay. Short story I didn't make the final cut, my lowest price wasn't low enough.
