They deserve each other. Dumb and Dumberer!
Can you truly be a ‘Seller Advocate’ if you have never advocated for sellers? Someone ask Griff, he would know.
seller advocate??? what a joke.
I wonder if that’s why face book page and market place just changed. Its a mess, FB page is over sized and the market place now show’s mostly “ships to” then local ads, it was a good source of inventory now its useless
@ tsme35: I refuse to do FB, and my whole family is on FB. That’s how they message each other and get into fights. No FB for me. And it’s a little late for FB to join the ecommerce family isn’t it? It has to outdo Ebay, Etsy, Posh (which is going public) and AMZ, WM, to name a few. Zuckerberg is always a day late and a dollar behind. Maybe he should try and join the space race with Bezos.

Oh dear. I’ve been doing great on Facebook and any ideas that come from an eBay mind can really put a wrench in the system.
FB shops is incredibly difficult to set up. And it’s NOT new, despite Zuckerberg making a big to-do about it back in May. I set up a FB shop several years ago, though I never sold anything from it. My biggest complaint was that, as a seller of OOAK items, I need to be able to delete items that have sold and I couldn’t figure out how to do that. And, unlike eBay, FB has ZERO customer service. I deleted my FB shop more than a year ago. Not sure if I’ll ever try it again because Etsy & eBay are both working very well for me these days.
