Hello Steemians... wow, late already... was supposed to write this at 8pm while watching the news, but family bugged me with booking their flights and hotels for our short CNY breakaway (coming pretty soon!)
This is my only post no. 6 after being introduced to Steemit by friends. I couldn't start immediately back in December... too many meetings, family functions, christmas and KPIs to meet.
Today, eBay invited my division to visit their office. Having been selling in eBay platform for 17 years now (on and off selling), i finally get a change to visit their humble office..
Their office is at First Avenue (1 Utama). I was early so I told eBay team that I need a place to sit down to do some work on my laptop. They sent a familiar face (whom i forgotten her name) to welcome me at the door. Shun was from Shopee before joining eBay.
eBay never had any training rooms before... my goodness... the sellers now are so lucky to have all these support... I am super envious of them... Look at this training room (below pic)
So we all sat down and started our discussion... PayPal was in the house too...
eBay now has interesting programs now helping both SMEs and Small Traders. I will share more once we have kick started their program this year.
Before we go... a group #wefie using my Sony FDR-X3000
And I got this Goodie Bag!!!
With lotsa cool other stuff in it:
A lot of exciting meet ups planned for me... A lot to do for the smes to get them to export.
Stay tuned... thanks for reading this and Happy Thursday in advanced.
Hugs,
Carol
Nice to see that ebay is coming back to Malaysia. They were very quiet for many years and did not offer much support for their members compared to other platforms. But I wonder how will they fare against the existing more established players here?

eBay Malaysia team focused major on scaling Cross Border Trade Sellers (CBT). Don't compare them to loal marketplaces as local marketplaces are not cross border platforms.
Think eBay think Global.
Amazon has the worst in my opinion of support. Came to Malaysia in 2015, support about 200+ sellers, then in 2016, the whole support team exited Malaysia. Sickening. Now the Amazon Sellers (MY Based), don't know who to go to when they faced problems in selling CBT.
eBay is coming with interesting programs this year. I will have to 'witness' how receptive it will be this coming weeks. Will share their programs once they have finalised their plans.

That's true about Amazon. I wonder if they still have a presence in Singapore to support SEA sellers? Hopefully eBay Malaysia will not abandon Malaysian sellers like Amazon. Looking forward to read your sharing on eBay and ecommerce

Amazon... got presence in SG but what i was told, only AWS.
As of eBay, i sounded them, not only them, i sounded amazon too for lacking the support... I will be working closely now with eBay... they have new and better directions and support for sellers now... Now i feel that, they are more than happy to assist MY Sellers in the CBT side.
