I just got an email notice saying that "Ebay University" is coming to my city at the end of the month. It's only $25 for two days. It looks like it is directed at sellers.

Has anyone ever attended this? Did you learn anything? What exactly goes on there?

Also, I think I can only go for 1 of the 2 days. Would that still be worthwhile?

Thanks!

Yeah, but I spent most of the year in my dorm room watching the QVC and smoking dope. SafeHarbor showed up one day and escorted me to rehab/mind control therapy. Now I just sold everything I own and gave all my money to eBay to gain a sense of financial and auctionerical enlightenment.

I now see the error of my ways and freely give all I have to the great eBay. I tried once to share the wealth with the almighty PayPal but the most holy Meg told me to repent because almighty PayPal was attempting to take more of her share and that would not be tolerated. I spent a month polishing Pez dispensers for some guy named Pierre.

Here's what the eBay staff look like while attending eBay U.
This pic was taken yesterday, and NO, I wasn't there.



edited to add, I wonder if Gianni is old enough to be holding that drink?

Save your money & spend time on AW everyday.
You can learn more here than they could ever teach you.

Ebay "University" has to be the silliest, dumbest thing I've ever heard of.

I agree with the others: you can learn more on this board in a week than from ebaY...

Gee, do you get a "diploma" at the end of the two days? Geesh.

Not Kerryann on eBay

I have'nt gone also am getting deluged with spam from ebay about it. Read the course descriptions if it sounds like something you could benifit from go . one good solid Idea can more than pay for the course.

We went to one in SoCal last year. It was one full day and really was worth the small fee they charge. I didn't learn very much, but I got to chat with some of the reps between classes as well as with other sellers who share some of the same concerns, etc. Besides, it was all a business expense and I got an eBay pen

For $25 go. If it were $100 then I'd re-consider. The pen isn't that nice.

LOL!!!! Okay! I got the point! It was that photo that scared me off actually! hahahaha!

You're right. I've learned more on this board about selling on ebay than I could anywhere. I really appreciate how my questions are answered and taken seriously (with a little needed humor, too, of course!) A very generous spirit here always.

Thanks. I think I'll skip it.

I go to ebaY University almost every day. The posters on AW are the best professors you will ever find.
