John LawsonEBay Live? Simply not the best it could be

By John Lawson of 3rd Power Outlet (www.3rdPO.com)

I stayed home and evidently many others did too!

Let me back that up and rewind a bit… See for those who don't know me…I wrote a little blog at the end of the last 2 "eBay centric" events prior to this party. You can check them out by going to http://tinyurl.com/59yq8v. 

So I would like to add on to that now that the BIG party is over…literally.

Man, after Catalyst and the PeSA/eCommerce summits the stage was set, eBay made a "killing".  Lorrie Norrington "nailed the speech", eBay execs came and stood toe to toe, they said "we are listing", "good feedback", "give us a chance", sound familiar?…err shall I go on?

Why, thank you, I think I shall…

The sellers stood up and demanded clarity on changes on feedback, some could not help but protest the real world impact, while others simply whined (you know I am telling the truth). At the end of it all, we felt that something good was blowing in the wind. I got that "Obama" feeling of change, LMAO. It was an Oprah moment with a new since of purpose.

Fast forward to the approach of eBay Live 2008... everybody kept asking me if I were going? I just did not feel like I wanted to go.

But then they announced, No eBay Live 2009, see ya in 2010…WTH? Huh? Continue reading “eBay Live 2008 – Thoughts from Atlanta – John Lawson of 3rdPO.com Speaks Out” »

eBay Heroes – Another eBay Live Cutesy Theme, Gone Awry

eBay HeroeseBay Live is always a little kooky...

Scot Wingo woke me up to that fact in his blog post this morning about the newest eBay Live 2008 theme:

eBay Heroes

Scot characterises the depiction of these "heroes" in his article, so I won't go there...

What I see here is a company which can not seem to craft a cohesive message.

To me, eBay Live should always be, first and foremost, a place to get business done and to learn about the business of selling and buying on eBay.

This year, with the changes in upper management, I thought I had heard a new more business like tone being projected from the altar.

Apparently that tone is just a puff of hot air...

If the message is big business merchandising and improvement of the buyer experience, I would think eBay would start by improving the seller experience at this, the last ever eBay Live.

In the past, one of my main gripes about eBay Live was that it seemed to be run by the same people who organize frat house parties and volleyball tournaments.  Continue reading “eBay Heroes – Another eBay Live Cutesy Theme, Gone Awry” »
