Hi,

I attended one 6 months ago in Solihull and was worth going, as I have now decided to go Full Time, although a lot of the content of the Presentations, I knew already and what I wanted to know on things like accounting, tax(!), feedback, ebay's (lack of ) customer service (£20 billion pounds profit and less than 1,000 staff ....I'll say no more) were either ignored or not covered. At times it was a bit of a 'sales pitch' but you did meet alot of other sellers, who were all very friendly apart from who their suppliers were!!

If I remember it was £15.00, so in 6 months it has gone up to £25.00 (more money for ebay!). On the whole, if you are going to trade full time, then go.

I replied to this one last week, surely I can't be the only person on MSE to have attended?

eBay University? Don't make me laugh!!!!!!

It is just a way of them being seen to help you (which you pay for) to maximise your profits (hence theirs). It is a business deal (with eBay the winners, as ever) pure and simple........

Yes I agree especially now its gone up by £10.00 but if you want to go full time and are newish to ebay and can see through the Sales Pitch, then maybe worth punt. If I go again, then it would be to complain about the lack of customer service (1,000 staff my a***), fees for everything, paypal, feedback....I
