topic eBay Looking For Private Sellers For Paid Case Study & Media Exposure in Seller Central https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Seller-Central/eBay-Looking-For-Private-Sellers-For-Paid-Case-Study-amp-Media/m-p/7929115#M756313 In case you missed it, eBay is apparently looking to recruit private sellers in the UK for a paid case study and opportunity to share their selling journey through eBay’s marketing channels and media outlets. Posted on the official eBay UK LinkedIn profile, which seems odd since LinkedIn, being a professional social networking site. would likely be a better place to reach business sellers, not private: <img src="https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/133997i171E9F677EBDF616/image-dimensions/602x601?v=v2" width="602" height="601" role="button" title="2025-09-16_10-34-19.jpg" alt="2025-09-16_10-34-19.jpg" /> However, the link leads to a Google form where they make it clear that this is a paid opportunity and the offer is for private sellers only. <A href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf9rFOSrsrnYJTDGA3qPvYBvwVQnRW-yKLPoQmi_-peAJccAA/viewform" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf9rFOSrsrnYJTDGA3qPvYBvwVQnRW-yKLPoQmi_-peAJccAA/viewform</A>  <img src="https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/133996iFB04F2DE84D54129/image-dimensions/615x533?v=v2" width="615" height="533" role="button" title="ebaysellingstory.jpg" alt="ebaysellingstory.jpg" /> In addition to requesting name, city, and seller ID, sellers who wish to be considered are asked to answer questions like:<UL><LI>How long have you been selling on eBay?</LI><LI>What kinds of items do you typically sell on eBay?</LI><LI>To your best estimate, how many items have you sold on eBay?</LI><LI>How much have you earned on eBay? (Total or monthly average)</LI><LI>What has been your biggest or most surprising sale?</LI><LI>Are there any hobbies, activities or life milestones you've funded from money made on eBay?</LI></UL>I thought it was kind of strange that eBay didn't a post an announcement here in this community, but then thought about it some more and figured if the goal is to place "positive" private seller stories in already friendly media outlets...based on the many threads here about Simple Delivery, delayed payouts, buyer protection fees etc....maybe this isn't the crowd they are looking for and in fact maybe they're hoping to produce content for highly visible media placements specifically to counter the prevailing private seller feedback one might encounter in this forum. And if that is the case, all the more reason why I thought it might be important to give regulars here a heads up and a chance to apply for this amazing opportunity. 😉  Tue, 16 Sep 2025 14:51:04 GMT valueaddedresource 2025-09-16T14:51:04Z
