Ebay Community Boards In For Another Change

[icyfroth]

Found this snippet over on the American boards:

A clean slate? All will be forgiven and banned members welcomed back?

[collect247]

I hope all gets forgiven and all the banned members (sellers) are welcomed back as I have forgiven

ebay for wrongfully banning all sellers.

So come on ebay get the community all back here on ebay and make it a more happier place

Bad bear better batter up

Can't see it happening here.

For a start, they have interaction with ebay reps on the US boards.

They also have a board manager.   UK also has a board manager.

We don't have any of that.

And Enigma bear.....always avoid alliteration

Better than a bear bare bum.....per

The UK board manager is now part the US board manager.

It also introduced a new community manager in the US, "Alan@eBay" (who is Alan Aisbitt), replacing eBay's former Director of Community Jeff Terrell, who left the company last year. Aisbitt was head of community at eBay UK for 3 years, and has been with eBay since 2009.

We don't have any of that.

His last post on their boards was on the 8/8/19

Hello everyone, 

I would like to share some news, this week, I am going to be leaving my current role in the UK Community and I will be leading community development over in eBay HQ in San Jose, California. I am currently packing up all my belongings and preparing for the big move 

While I won't be posting here any longer I will still be directly involved in the future of the UK Community and I will be working closely with ilona_uk@ebay.com & our new team member sarah_uk@ebay.com. Welcome Sarah!!! 

I would like to thank you all for your participation while I've been here over the last 3 years, I have learned so much from you and I really enjoyed getting to know you all, your insights have led to lots of improvements and bugs been squashed on the eBay site so well done to you all!!!!

I am forever grateful, thank you!
Alan

We still don't have a board manager.

And it would be really extra special nice if someone from ebay

could help out and advise on the buying/selling boards lke they do in the US

Instead of behaving like we're something stuck under their boots, that they've

stepped in.

perhaps they have got desperate and think declining community interaction is the cause of poor sales on ebay.
