LOL
Sorry but I have to laugh. I wonder with such huge differences how Canadian airlines manage to stay in business at all. 😞 That's disgusting!
I haven't flown out of Toronto in about 10 years. Take a look at their 9/11 security charge. Canada was NOT attacked yet our 9/11 charge is higher than that of American flights. I just can't wrap my head around that one.
Anyways, sorry for ranting/venting.....I hope those going have a blast and learn lots of things, make friends, make contacts etc. Remember! Get the business cards of the various Pinks you meet. It's always good to have an actual person you can contact and a number you can call.

Ouch 😮 That's a big price there from Toronto! I will drive you down from Toronto for 1/2 of that if you want to car-pool...lol...
The business card thing is a good idea 😉 I will have to do that when I am there.

Hey you were there?
I was the bigmouth who stood up and said the PayPal Seller Protection Policy is useless for Canadians because we can't get tracking on Lettermail or Small Packets. :^O LOL
I'm sorry but that irked me so bad that they stand up there and smile. PayPal will cover you. 🙂 If you get a chargeback or you get an unauthorized claim, PayPal will cover you. ffftttt ya right! They're lying to these people. Somebody had to say something. geeze
Wish we could have met. 🙂
I don't think that that announcement was right, frankly. When I went to the eBay U last year they only gave attendees a $10 off coupon. But who knows, maybe they're desperate to have Canadians going to Live. I just don't think it was right. I'll be pleasantly shocked if it is, but I don't think so.

Those folks at the tables were event staff hired by .com not .ca and it wasn't our fees but the $60 admission. I actually like that they have that many people there to move things along. You should have seen the mess at the .ca run eBay On The Road. It was staffed by volunteers like myself and others. Only 3 of us at the tables and it was NOT fast, let me assure you.
The eBay staff were there to supervise us, talk to each other set up other things and do the discussion but we were admitting people. With paperwork that was poorly organized and not explained well enough if you ask me. I ran an office so they could have easily just dropped the list in front of me and I would have run with it but some were not experienced with stuff like that. I helped out a few of them.
I liked the US setup. Computers, quick, easy & staffed by people that understood what they were doing. Some of the volunteers at OTR were nice but not very quick on the organizational skill. HUH? The list was in alphabetical order by last name and they had a bugger of a time finding people, line ups formed, people were upset...etc etc...lots of silliness.
No Marsha didn't know what was going on with that offer. I talked briefly with her afterwards and she didn't seem all that impressed with the lack of info that she was given and that none of the .ca staff stuck around to offer further info. I was disappointed in that. It didn't strike me as being very professional.
