  • How Would an eBay Layoff Impact Sellers? [View article]
    As an Ex eBay employee, I left over my disgust of where the company was going. I am a from TSAM and found our duties go from that of business growth for our accounts to simply a glorified and high paid babysitters just there to keep the big sellers happy but yet we had no powere to do anythign for them other to listen to their complaints and say I am sorry I understand but unfortunately there is nothing I can do for you. We were not paid on how well our accounts performed, so there is no incentive to teach them to be better. I think with the new changes and in October there will be MORE, especially to 20 - 30 estimated BIG SELLERS who have never been on eBay yet will begin as diamond PS and pay NO insertion fees listings hundreds of thousands of items, nor will they have placement based at all on DSR's or feedback %. This will cause current big sellers still paying fees to be further edged out. This means there is even less need for a TSAM group. I expect most all of the jobs will come from SLC. That entire division will be closed and it will be moved up to Vancouver. Salt Lake City employees are over paid for what they do much more so that those in Vancouver, but if they were allowed to actually do their job descriptions this company would be entirely different. Each TSAM makes over $40K per year, not bad for simply apologizing to sellers and offering them nothing at all for all their hard work and fees they pay. Not to mention the other 1,000 plus employees at SLC. Most of their duties have already been moved up to Vancouver over the past few years. With the BIG sellers comming in there is no need for the lower level seller support as if you are not one of those new BIG sellers you wont be able to get found therefore no sales, no need for support. Buyer support is already in Vancouver. Trust & Safety will no longer be an issue as those have been moving to SJ over the past couple of years. It really has been a sad state of affairs to give all you have for a company for so long only to see them run it full speed into the ground without any concern for those who use or work for them. i will miss eBay

  • eBay May Switch to New 'Item Page' Before Holidays [View article]
    Hey eBay fans. Look ahead to October as here are some BIG changes to the eBay site:

    It is rumored that about 15 - 20 new LARGE sellers will be introduced to the site. They will instantly (without having sold 1 single item) be considered as Diamond Power Sellers. They will pay no listing fees and WILL NOT be subject to any DSR's. These are supposed to be in the media and electronics categories. they are doing this in time to have these buyers enough feedback 10,000 or more by the time the real holiday season begins in early november. This is going to SCREW even more eBay sellers.
