Small Sellers: Our Competitive Advantage

In reading some of the comments in Richard’s eBay partners with Buy.com post and the Evolution of the eBay Feedback post I think it’s important that we address the misperception that eBay dislikes small sellers. Let me be clear: eBay has always believed that small and casual sellers — “the little guys” — are eBay’s most important competitive advantage … These sellers created our community, bring a human touch to the marketplace, and continue to make eBay a truly one-of-a-kind shopping experience.However, having a unique selection alone is no longer enough to maintain a growing and healthy marketplace.

The First 24 Hours
Well, it’s been roughly 24 hours since the above photo was taken and we went live and I think my April calendar of blog topics just wrote itself based on the 62 comments received so far. With the exception of editing one sentence in one comment and deleting another comment for profanity, we’ve really kicked it off with a bang I’d say – the lines of communication are definitely open.
I’m pleased to see that there are mostly good discussions being initiated here. However, I do feel some of the comments are veering slightly off point – but it’s to be expected when there are only 4 posts available to comment on to begin with I suppose.
That said, thanks to everyone for getting involved right off the bat. Let’s keep this dialogue going and I look forward to adding more substantial posts based on the issues and discussions raised here.
Cheers.
