eBay live 2006 Las Vegas

Hello! I just got back from eBay Live 2006 Las Vegas!

Motto: "The Power of all of us!"

It was an inspiring experience to see and be a part of it:

• Over 720 eBay, PayPal and Skype employees,
• over 15,000 ebayers in Mandalay Convention Center,
• 3 days of Educational Programs,
• Networking programs,
• Solutions Center with big names of Sponsors & exhibitors (Yahoo, Microsoft, HP, Skype, Doba, Pitney Bowes, USPS, JDT Technologies, HammerTap, Vendio, Mpire, Terapeak),
• Education Specialist trained by eBay booth in which I volunteer to help for 2 hours… and so on.
  

I am back now and I fill good about it because:

• I learn a lot,
• I think I know where the eBay marketplace is going,
• I met some of my eBay friends, YES it is true, I have a lot of eBay friends from Marketing Seminars I attended this year, from last year eBay live in San Jose, from my eBay classes etc.

In a nut shell:

Meg Whitman eBay President & CEO delivered the Keynote speech,

• she explained the great power of the following 3 units: eBay, PayPal, Skype,
• announced new Community Products: eBay Blogs, The eBay Wiki,
• announced the introduction of MyCollectibles,
• Grand Opening for eBay express which is a reflection of eBay community requests, Motto: “Get It New, Buy It Now, on eBay Express”

Bill Cobb the President of eBay North America made some reflections of the last year events, shared with us news about the eBay marketplace. He was very candid and open discussing the good and the bad decisions of 2005, he is determined to improve Trust & Safety Policy, Excessive Shipping practice etc and he will continue to listen to as all.
