treasure-pot,

Glad you are finding success with the Education Specialist program. One of our priorities in 2006 is to continue to improve the program and have the same if not a better offering than the US. In the meantime let me check and see if we can get the Basics to Buying material on an expedited basis.

We did not hold a Voices session in the fall as we were undertaking several other research projects.

Will the French Q&A be translated for the benefit of English-only speakers, and will the English Q&A be translated for the benefit of French-only speakers? Regardless of language, the Q&A will help all.

Hi riotz-swimwear-and-clothing,

Here is our process for determining whether a payment method is banned or not:

From time to time, as new payment services arise, eBay will evaluate them to determine whether they may present trust and safety concerns and are appropriate for the marketplace. eBay will consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination:
• Whether the payment model offers substantial financial, privacy and anti-fraud protection for buyers and sellers
• Whether the payment model raises the potential for confusion among eBay users, or involves incentives that may present fraud concerns
• Whether the payment model involves precious metals, or other non-cash (points, miles, minutes, coupons, discounts) as consideration
• Whether the payment service has a substantial historical track record of providing safe and reliable financial and/or banking related services (new services without such a track record generally cannot be promoted on eBay)
• The identity, background and other business interests of the payment service sponsor
• The license/regulatory status of the payment provider in the countries where it provides payment services

We will evaluate each payment method that arises using the above criteria.

Hi Pukmis,
The hotel discount information will be available as soon as the registration opens Feb. 24. After you register for your eBay Live admission, you will see links on the page that have information about hotels, and the agreed eBay rate at each property.

See you in Vegas!

valleyboy42,

Regarding your cash only question as a payment method on local pick up items:

Here is what is permitted on eBay.com: Sellers may offer to accept PayPal, credit cards including Mastercard/Visa /Amex/Discover, debit cards and bank electronic payments online for eBay purchases. Sellers may also offer to accept bank-to-bank transfers, often known as bank wire transfers or bank cash transfers. Sellers may accept COD (cash on delivery) or cash for in person transactions. Sellers may offer to accept payment through Certapay and Propay. Sellers may offer to accept personal checks, money orders, cashier’s checks, certified checks and other negotiable instruments.
