Jack Sheng talks with eBay Ink at Shop.org 2009

It has been almost a year since Jack Sheng (Eforcity) was the first to be awarded the silver “Shooting Star” for a million feedback. It had also been a year since I was able to sit down and chat with him but I was fortunate enough to spend some time with him at last week’s Shop.org 2009 conference. We managed to grab lunch with another colleague of mine, Young Mi, and afterward he spent some time with us chatting about his past year on eBay… Here is the resulting video footage.

Cheers,

Videos from power sellers like this are very much appreciated. Great to hear it from the mouth of those in the trenches.

Fascinating that his sales are more fixed-price than auction and glad to hear he sees unit sales up.

Keep these coming!

I find it very interesting that the link for Eforcity carries you to their website and not to their eBay store. I suppose you had rather I buy from their store than from them on eBay
