Whoever gets the job certainly has plenty of scope to make a success of it. I for one would happy to get some selling tips apart from "Start your listing at 99p", whatever the item is and when the items with which it is compared are nothing like it. Or "add more photos" when I've taken photos from every useful angle.
They could also try writing "Announcements" of more than two vague paragraphs concerning major changes. Stemming from that, hopefully they will have enough power within ebay to ensure that the Community Team is fully informed about imminent changes and that they are permitted to give clarification and guidance to sellers. Unlike when sellers of personalised items were left floundering for months, pleading for information. All too often I see one of the Team say they will be back with more information, but then don't return. Or never respond at all and appear to have been gagged.
They will have an uphill struggle, no matter how good and well intentioned they are. As Richardmstuff says there is a pervasive negativity on the boards about any ebay initiative. IMO brought about mostly by ebays attitude that all sellers should be viewed in the worst possible light, treated as potential thieves and liars and punished accordingly, whether guilty or not. On both sides suspicion is now so entrenched that many who sell here don't really want to and wouldn't be here at all if they could find an alternative.
I wish the successful candidate the very best of luck, especially if their remit is to help ALL sellers and not JUST the corporates at the expense of everyone else.
