4) Do you have any comments or suggestions for the content of the:
Super Selling Course - We actually found this to be quite boring. There really was not anything that they touched base on that we did not already know.
We already knew about how stores and keywords work, and how to use the search function.
There has to be something else out there to keep the interest of the more 'seasoned' seller. Most of the topics covered could have been part of the beginner group instead.
There were a few of us that left early.
5) Are you a PowerSeller?
No - I don't think that I would want to be either.
6) If we changed one thing about eBay.ca On The Road, what would make it better?
I like the idea of a 'trade show' atmosphere. Have an all-day thing where different sellers can set up booths where they can show off their wares (not necessarily for sale) and where sellers can get together and exchange experiences and ideas.
7) What is the one thing we should definitely not change about the On The Road events?
Different seminars for different levels of users.
8) How many seminars do you attend every year?
This was the first eBay seminar, but I attend a couple each year for merchandising and marketing.
9) What city/town and province do you live in? Calgary, AB

1) Did you attend an eBay.ca On The Road event?
Yes, in 2003. In 2004, I just popped in to say hi - I did not stay for the session.
2) What did you like about the eBay.ca On The Road events?
The best thing is the networking - both with eBay staff and with other eBay users in your area. For most of us posting here, we rely on the boards for advice and assistance. But a large majority of eBayers never come here. Where do they go to ask questions? So, the OTRs are very helpful in that way. In general, I felt the session was well presented. The venue was accessible and eBay staff made sure my disability-related needs were met, which I greatly appreciated.

Super Selling Course
Super Selling is great for people who are just starting to sell. I picked up tips last year that I have incorporated, such as including s/h rates for international destinations and the importance of a logo and business cards.
However, the vast majority of the information consisted of stuff I already knew. I would suggest two separate seller's courses - one for people who want to sell, or who have begun selling recently, and one for people who want more indepth info (ie taxes, customs, inventory, trademark usage, etc.)
5) Are you a PowerSeller? If so, what would you like to see at an event like eBay.ca On the Road? How would you like to be included in an event such as eBay On The Road?
n/a
6) If we changed one thing about eBay.ca On The Road, what would make it better?
More opportunities for the attendees to interact with each other. In 2003, the session was a full day, with munchies and a chance to mingle at the end. However, I would think many people likely skipped that part to get home to their families. For day-long sessions, perhaps a longer lunch break and a place to socialize would be a better plan.
7) What is the one thing we should definitely not change about the On The Road events?
The goodie bags! lol I love that stuff and it's great advertising for eBay.
😎 How many seminars do you attend every year?
3-4 work-related events.
9) What city/town and province do you live in?
Saskatoon, SK
