*JMHO* - to be taken with a grain of salt!
Maybe if we ALL say how much we need PS mugs, how jealous of the US Powersellers we are, how our work is hindered by not having them...maybe if we ALL band together....
We're serious!!

You need to know the secret handshake and must be able to decipher the password with your secret decoder ring before you will get the treasured eBay PS'er coffee mug.

I'll try to explain it Moira...
See, most of the PS'ers here see the US PS'ers with shirts, mugs, etc. and wonder aloud "Why not us?"
Plain and simple, if we as of equal value to eBay as a company, and we must be because we certainly don't pay any less in fees than our US counterparts, why did it require the establishment of a CDN PS program to recognize our import to the company?
Is there a concern about shipping a PS mug across international borders? Why doesn't .com ship up 30 cases of mugs fro redistribution? Is it really that big a deal to get mugs out to CDN PS'ers?
It's not that I can't live without a mug... it is the perception that we are not treated on an equal basis. And unfortunately, for most, perception is a reality.
Please reread what you wrote in post #22. To what extent would my customers be prepared to accept the rational that you are using. "Sorry Mr. Customer, I've had lots of technical issues so your shipment was delayed several weeks. I was just so excited about getting your item out the door that I didn't package it the way I would have liked but I will in the near future."
Moira, we have to deal with customer issues with the way we conduct our businesses all day long. It is nice to see someone from eBay come to the board and attempt to deal with eBay's customer issues for a change. :<)

I was actually thinking of posting an eBay auction for a complete set of four of those mugs! I'm sure they would go for an extrodinarily high price considering the demand for eBay coffee mugs.
Tape?... what tape? :>)
Tape?... what tape? :>)
We could BUY the mugs, but we can't get to the eBay-O-Rama PS section anymore!!!! So, even tho they WILL ship to Canada, we can't see the merchandise to order it!!
I kinda feel like I'm chasing my tail here.
It would be kind if someone would post a direct link to the POWERSELLER section of eBayORama....
....pretty please??

I'm still trying to figure out how it is that abebooks.com can give mugs away, when eBay can't!?? DH and I attended a book show here in Victoria over a year ago, and there was a table full of mugs, free for all attendees. We now have two "abebooks.com / the ultimate bookmark" mugs and we don't even list with them, but no eBay mugs! Go figure!!

Hi Daniel,
I think you'll find that most of us would like the mug and some of the perks that the US PSers seem to get, but I for one, feel that this board with all of it's nice, friendly people (no backbiters!) makes coming here much more pleasant than the .com site. I still list on .com, I still check out the boards on .com (when I have time), and I haven't had to contact support so I don't have personal knowledge about the length of time or level of service. I do know I see a lot of complaints on .com too, so maybe that difference is only perceived?
If you check through some of the previous posts, you'll see that Moira is working on catching us up!
By the way, welcome to the Cdn board!
