Beware of Mean Girls on eBay Discussion Forums

If you haven’t visited the eBay Discussion Forums on eBay.com, here is a warning. Read and lurk for a while, maybe a few weeks, before you say a word. These boards are dominated by long-time sellers who do not welcome new posters. I recently started visiting the boards and helping new sellers with questions, only to be mocked, criticized, and ridiculed. I’ve now been banned three times for simply trying to help, and will never post there again. The atmosphere is very “junior high” and full of unnecessary drama – it “totally” reminds me of the movie, “Mean Girls.”

So, I started my own forum where everyone has a voice, everyone can contribute, and all the members are required to behave with respect and consideration for one another. If you have had a hard time finding help on any eBay forum, please come join us at The eBay Coach Free Forum. We do require that all members post a link to their eBay store or profile to verify that members are legitimate sellers and not coming to our forum to spam members or push their ecommerce products.

If you have eBay questions or just want to hang out with a group of over 800 eBay sellers who will gladly welcome anyone of any eBay selling level, come join us!
