Let’s hope the new one will be open to change... allowing more flexibility in Calculated Shipping methods (like adding ChitChats, Stallion, CanPar, DHL, Purolator and many others), and evolving the platform into something more relevant for the Canadian market.

eBay Canada really needs some attention. It could become a much better platform for Canadians to buy and sell, if it were more tailored to our reality.

If you accept the position does it come with a bonus jet?

qualifications required for the job include but not limited to.....

-screwing sellers

-having your service reps lie to sellers constantly

-screwing sellers

-when something works great and everyone is happy, do the upgrade or change the system/process

-rip off sellers (maybe I said this one already )

-willing to accept a large renumeration package due to barrels of money obtained, yea you guessed it, by screwing sellers

Yea I know I should get the hedoublehockeysticks out of here, been too many years. But for being old & grumpy I still have fun on ebay and enjoy it too much.

Reading about the previous folks you get the impression that heading up .ca is a stepping stone along the way for them.

Here's what I replied on the valueaddedresource post that asked what eBay Canada can do for it's sellers:

1 Start building out the brand and promoting the heck out of Canadian sellers to our domestic market. Work with Federal/Provincial level governments in the push to build a strong presence here in Canada.

2 Add other calculated shipping options than Canada Post UPS/FedEx for domestic shipping - partner with couriers nationwide, leverage agreements and software integrations with courier reseller platforms such as Stallion Express. Build out a crowd sourced network using national/regional retail locations as drop points for rural regions, leveraging transport networks to move packages to courier pickup points, akin to the UK courier model but adapted to the Canadian reality.

3 Create a centralized international shipping clearing house to aide micro businesses with affordable shipping rates and customs clearance to avoid pitfalls and complexities (akin to US eIS).

4 Bring features forward to the platform from other localizations, such as prepaid best offer acceptance, etc.

I got a notice from Chitchats that they were partnering with Whatnot to streamline shipping for Canadian Whatnoters... I didn't even know that Whatnot was in Canada 🙂
