What makes someone a "Community Expert"

[thomakin1]

Who are these so called "community experts" who pop up in support of ebay whenever anyone posts about something which they dislike? I've noticed some of them have very low feedback scores, what is it that qualifies them to give advice? Or are they as I suspect simply  minimum wage ebay drones sat in front of a computer all day?

Some years ago a number of experienced buyers/sellers were ask to join the 'experts' group that eBay were forming.

As they were not and are not eBay employees, they gave the best advice they could in an unbiased manner.

The vast majority are happy with the advice given, a few not so, usually because they don't get what they want to hear.

Some say thank you, some don't, some insult, some believe we are paid by eBay – not true.

Yes, there are problems with, for example, MP, many don't like it and having it forced on them, many say they are leaving, some do.

A month ago you indicated you were going to stop selling, that's your right, now you put up new listing, that's your right.
