If you're new to eBay or the eBay community, you may be a bit mystified by all of the hysteria that seems to surround the eBay Live! event. So just what is eBay Live?
eBay Live! is an annual conference of eBay users—buyers, sellers, developers, experts, and journalists writing about eBay, that gather together to talk about all things ebay, and in particular, how to leverage eBay as a business tool and community in order to:
- Grow an online business
- Source product efficiently, increase turnover, and maximize revenue
- Employ best practices in trading, bookkeeping, and customer service
- Discuss and learn about the future of eBay
Speeches and a keynote are generally given by eBay executives or heavy hitters, and these are supplemented by classes, workshops, exhibits, and booths hosted by vendors that provide products and services related to eBay trading.
Live! isn't open to the public at the door—you must be ticketed in order to attend.
