Waste of time “taught” by people who know nothing about how business works.
Tony Soprano doesn’t know how Arti Bucchos restaurant works – just that he gets a cut every week.
Let the brainwashing begin. And best of all ITS FREE. To funny
“All skill is in vain when an angel pees in the barrel of your rifle.”
…that includes eBay not showing your listing. I bet they don’t teach that.
Clear description with key words…close-up pictures (not stock)…competitive price.
I’ve sold over $700K with that formula. What am I doing wrong?
“Customer service”? Really? The nerve! The irony! How about eBay itself providing good customer service to the REAL CUSTOMERS, the sellers? Sick and tired of stupid bots and overseas script readers reciting irrelevant, pre-programmed answers.
Preach, haven’t talk to a rep from USA in 4 months and half didn’t have access to my account to look at the problem at hand
I did a deeper dive in the community on the new eBay Seller School

Some of the content isn’t bad, some if it is obviously very dated, and some of it is just flat out not correct.
Providing this kind of educational content for new sellers is a great idea in my opinion, but like so many things eBay does, the execution leaves a bit to be desired.
Did they teach ….. ?
1) that “seller protection” is a lie?
2) that eBay will be going forward, putting you in a payments program you can never escape from?
3) that eBay lied about savings in that program, but will be keeping the interest on the float anyway?
4) that eBay should have NOT forced sellers to build their catalog for free with lies about product attributes?
5) that the last CEO got away (by the skin of his teeth) abuse and harassment of Dave & Ina and that his cohorts ended up in jail?
6) that the current BOD and people in charge know as much about selling as the average garden slug?
the list goes on and on. The only people you need to protect yourself from is eBay.
