On behalf of several members, and Lyndal’s family, it is with great sadness that we wish to inform the eBay community of the recent passing of member lyndal1838.
Lyndal was a prolific poster on these eBay boards. She amassed thousands upon thousands of purchases on eBay. Through her buying experiences she was able to help thousands of members in their time of need when an eBay transaction went pear shaped.
Even though Lyndal was not a seller she was very informed on seller issues through remaining up to date with eBay policies and procedures.
Many of us here keep our real life experiences private and do not discuss them in any great detail. Lyndal was not one to keep her life experiences totally private. She used her real life experiences to help others and often posted of her experiences in the courier industry. She often used her experiences in managing matters related to GST, ABN and other business issues, international money exchange, international posting and PayPal to name but a few. She referenced her family experiences when posting on animal issues, particularly where horses were concerned.
You always knew where you stood with Lyndal. This lead to some gruff exchanges with some members and it is fair to say that some members took issue with Lyndal's posting style. However, it is also fair to say that Lyndal never set out to upset or offend anyone.
Many years ago, Lyndal's ID on these boards started showing her as an "Honored Contributor" . . . much to her amusement. It was not a title that sat well with Lyndal. She only ever considered herself a "Community Member" like the rest of us.
Farewell Lyndal (lyndal1838)
