Ebay Live Chicago 2008

Where Do I start ?

The Conference had a bad energy going into it. 

I walked into the thing open minded, and the whole event for me was pretty good.   The main thing I keep hearing about was feedback.   If you are not familar with ebay feedback effects a lot of things on there.  When you are a powerseller you get discounts on your monthly bill if you have a high level of feedback.

I made it out on friday and saturday

Friday

There was good networking going on, and  few Wild people acting up.   I didn’t really feel the energy of normal conference that I would go to.   I really believe if you are starting out it was a great place to start.  A lot the new people attending learned a lot from the events, and seminars they put on.  

Its the people that have been around the block that are really upset over the drastic changes.  All they could say “ebay”  its for greater cause of ebay.   The basically say FU## Sellers and you better BEND and BEND for the Customers.  

Saturday was a much better day .   People were still very upset.    Have every right to be.  I put some videos on youtube http://www.youtube.com/jubrilrandom .      The Best Group discussion was Powerseller Group

I am gonna write review of seminars I attented little later on.

The Big thing didn’t know Meg whitman stepped down, now dohnue is Ceo.   it was a quiet process.

The one thing I like about execs they not dressed in $10k suits they are dressed in regular polos and everything.

The Closing Gala was a lot of fun for me, most of people I spoke to with one on one, were pretty postive and happy.
