I doubt that anybody sees it as their God given duty to instruct others.  The very simple fact is that if the information does not come from other members then members will not get it from ebay staff.

 

No wonder you are so popular with the moderator, you save ebay a small fortune in hiring informed staff every year. I noticed on another posting in "Selling", that all replies by other members pertaining to an insulting remark  made by one of the "help" members have been removed, however, the insulting remark is still there...nice work mod.

 

If ebay were to hire "informed" staff to answer questions then sellers would be up in arms at the huge increases in seller's fees that would surely follow.

Not many posters found the remark in question insulting....there were as many posts in support removed as those who did not support the remark.

And just another bit of information about these boards...you are not supposed to discuss removed posts.  That is grounds for your remarks to be removed and you can also have your posting privileges revoked.
