Truthful opinions - like when you criticized Etsy re: counterfeits while giving eBay free pass w/ ridiculous claim that "eBay would not call a counterfeiter a trusted merchant or allow them buy advertising on a brand names in violation of trademarks."?🤨

If you're not familiar w/ Elliott Management's 2019 activist campaign, it's worth reading their full "Enhancing eBay" letter. 👇
Notes on tech issues & ops challenges still highly relevant but not the only things $EBAY still struggles w/ 7 years later.

Interesting. 👀 $EBAY

I had forgotten this part.😂
When $EBAY "permanently" banned me in 2022 then unbanned due to social presence showing how important the work I do is, "Genny" said she looked forward to my reply - but was writing from a do not reply email.🤦♀️
Spoiler: they never took me up on it.
Welcome to the club. 🤝
But in my experience "permanent" doesn't really mean "permanent" in eBay speak as long as you have a "social presence" that shows "how important the work you do" is - so you should be fine. 😂

EBAY WONT LET ME FIX MY DISCOUNT
I started a eBay discount for my card store and made a mistake.
Tried to go back and edit it and eBay will not let me and it glitches out when I try and reset it.
People are taking advantage and getting cards for super cheap! 😫

Interesting comment from a Value Added Resource reader on the article 👇 $EBAY
valueaddedresource.net/ebay-…
$EBAY ends community chats in UK & Germany, the latest step in broader seller engagement retreat after similar shutdown in US & Canada.
Once a key way to report issues, ask questions & interact w/ eBay employees, users are increasingly left on their own.

A New York Times journalist asked me a very similar question years ago. My honest answer was "because I can and someone should."
The (at the time) politely unspoken rest of the answer was "and because you (legacy media) don't, even though you should."
If I had that same conversation today, that part would not go unspoken.😉
Truthfully, I didn't have aspirations to start my own site or even really to write at all until a "nudge" from a friend to whom I will always be grateful opened my mind up to the possibility.
Even then, my original intent was maybe a guest post or freelance article here and there or serving as a source and providing comment to journalists where my experience and knowledge might be helpful.
But it quickly became clear that "fine, I'll do it myself" was the best path to having the most impact...and 5 years later, here we are.🙂

For anyone wondering what eBay's current advertising efforts look like:

If you're wondering how $EBAY spends their marketing money: this new ad seeking to entice casual sellers in Australia with "fee-free" pitch will be rolling out across streaming, radio, social & digital out-of-home channels this week.
