eBay Live! 2008 Update

I've retuned from an amazing week at eBay Live! I had a wonderful time, learned so much, meet new people, saw old friends and had a chance to see the new eBay management team in action. For those who think they don't listen to users, think again. They heard us loud and clear. They explained why some of the changes are necessary to keep the eBay marketplace growing. They are revisiting and considering revising other policies based on our input at eBay Live.

 You can read all the new policy changes and revisions that came out of the conference by clicking here.

I haven't had a chance to go through all my still photos from eBay Live yet. I took several media cards worth. But, I also took my favorite new tool/toy the Flip Camera and took footage of the event.

One quick note and request for help. During eBay Live this year a fellow eBay and OSI Rockstar fell and ended up in the hospital. She'll be there for several months, her family will be by her side but you know the expenses will be major. 

Here's the story from my blog post:

Help JanieRuth & Family
Many or you may not have had good luck to meet or talk to Janieruth, an amazing eBayer with a big heart and wonderful sense of humor.
I've known her for a short time, but she quickly touched my heart. We've been exchanging jokes and helping each other grow on the OSI Rockstars board. It was a pleasure to meet her for the first time 'in person' this year at eBay Live!
Janieruth, while enjoying the sights and sounds at Live! fell off a balcony and ended up in the hospital. She suffered from head injuries and will take several month to recover. Janieruth is in the hospital with her family surrounding her. While the rest of us packed up and came home Sunday we thought of JR who will be staying behind. While recovering, she'll be in the hospital several more weeks.
That means loss of revenue - (friends are trying to help with her eBay business) and of course, her family has to find a place to stay to be close to her.
If you can afford a little - even a dollar, please donate to help cover the expenses.
