*JMHO* - to be taken with a grain of salt!
As a total PS discussion board addict, I am thrilled that I can now be a click away from another Power Seller discussion outlet. I have been a regular contributor to PS ebay.com and I have tried give a Canadian perspective on lots of issues.
It usually ends up with a joke about me selling beaver on eBay. LOL.
So I've bookmarked this one as well as Town Square and I look forward to having a lot of fun on this board too. Way to go!

Great! Another place to waste a little time when work feels too much like .... well, like work!
I'd like to add my congratulations too! This'll be a welcome addition, especially when we need a Canadian solution to some situations. I'll be checking back regularly -- usually just to lurk but sometimes I just can't keep my mouth shut!

deltone, let me get this straight. You are a Power Seller on eBay. You list under a Canadian address but like to hang out on the .com PS board. You have no problem being here. The crowd is nice and you have every intention of coming back.
But you are p*ssed because you have been directed to the Canadian PS discussion board because you did not receive a written invitation first?
What is the big deal? For a week now we have been talking and you have been given lots of ways to navigate both sites. Sure it might be a bit glitchy at first but here is a place to give/get a Canadian perspective and you have contributed beautifully!
So cheer up! This is a discussion board. No one is forcing you to do anything.

Sorry, Lisa, I kinda have to agree with deltone on this one. I won't say I'm p*ssed but I am disappointed.
There is a nice way to do things and eBay.ca messed up.
Sure, links have been posted to .com board but the fact remains that .ca took a bit of a heavy-handed approach in just redirecting Canuck traffic. Why not let me choose where I want to go and let me have the option of visiting the new board? Why not send an invite instead of arbitrarily redirecting anyone registered in Canada to the new board? I am of the opinion that Powersellers deserve that much from eBay. Smacks a bit to me like profiling. :<)
Like deltone, I'm happy that the board exists and that we now have a home to hang our touques. It's going to be a great alternative to the .com board and a little haven of civility, I am sure.

I can't even figure out what you're talking about! I received a nice invitation to this board, and when I got here I bookmarked it. I also have the .com board bookmarked. No one is forcing me to go to either one!
I was "dumped" on the Canadian board too, but not until after I had learned it existed on the .com board. Next time I logged in, here I was and I wasn't sure how it happened! I now have both boards bookmarked, in fact I have the direct links on my desktop (I AM NOT addicted!) and I finally got the official invite a day later. The timing could have been better, but now we have a choice between the two boards! I wonder if the US PSers have the option to log into the Canuckian board??!!! It just might broaden their outlook if they do!

Perhaps if you are registered on ebay.com and post on PS.com you did not get "dumped" onto the .ca PS board? I certainly did not.
I saw a thread on the Town Square and ran - not walked over and set up my bookmarks for this board, and the .ca PS launch page (where there is a link to the PS.com site).
So, if you were registered on Canada only and then usually went to .com - but suddenly found yourself only accessing Canada, I guess it would be a surprise.
After being on eBay full time for a over a year, true confession I am an eBay-ohlic, I would just work it out on my keyboard and get posting. But that is me.
So if you needed a bit more warning and I seemed uncaring, I apologize. Not everyone is eBay savvy (obsessed) like me!

Lisa, I'm registered on the .com (I don't think there WAS a .ca when I first registered) but the first time I tried to link to the .com PS board after the .ca board was up and running, I was redirected here without notice! It didn't take long to figure out what had happened - and believe me, you're not alone in being eBay obsessed! I'm supposed to be packing to leave for 2 weeks of trade shows tomorrow - what am I doing on the boards??!!!
