Congratulations! You were just named CEO of eBay.. What Would you Change First?

I would put full emphasis on true platform sales growth which in turn brings a more honest final value revenue. At the same time I would dismantle the Pay-to-Play scams that alienate the ones that help make it all possible. The transition would have to work in tandem.     

 

Let's Say You?

Get rid of Variable final value fee's & have just one single fee, Allow sellers to have more control over their business. Honestly not to much else as they have already done a pretty good job in my opinion overall. Yea their is some **bleep** here & their but overall it's good.

What specifically would you do to create "true platform growth"?

Return the ability to leave negative feedback for sellers and going further back make feedback 100% transparent where all sales were identified and visible and never anonymous.

So many to list.. I would do away with the FV cap on high end product. The house takes the same percentage no matter the value, whether it be $50-$50,000.00. Of course this would require more third-party authenticators and condition inspectors.       

 

And Yours?

Begin by doing away with feedback altogether.

If transparent you can see if a buyer bought a broken item one week, your same unbroken the next week and is returning the broken item to you in it's place.

Good point.. eBay has pretty much given up on Fraud Intervention, Yet another example of alienating the ones that help make it all possible. They just seem to wash their hands nowadays.

I would make sure I had a really great "golden parachute" in my employment contract, because , as someone with zero experience running a huge , multi faceted corporation with global interests, I'm confident I would be existing the firm pretty quickly.

Yeah in all honesty, that would be the ultimate outcome. We can all play along though, you  know, something good might come of it.

I would try to continue to make this a safer place for sellers. It’s good that they have made this an extremely safe place for buyers because if that was not in place none of us would be credible on here. One thing I would be doing is trying to advocate for better protection for merchants from credit card chargebacks that are dubious. One way is to make buyers HAVE TO go to the merchant first before they can just call the CC and complain. That might stop A LOT of lost revenue to us and ebay as the merchant. The seller protection for these is fairly good, but if some of these chargebacks that just happen out of the blue without first merchant contact that would help.
