Happy 5th Birthday eBay Vancouver

The week of March 3rd marked the 5th Anniversary of the eBay Vancouver Customer Support center. Since its humble beginnings with a handful of employees in March of 2003, the center has grown exponentially and now proudly provides 24/7 support to eBay members around the world!

The week was filled with a number of celebrations for the Vancouver employees, but the highlight for everyone was a two-day visit from "Uncle Griff"! As many of you know, Griff was eBay's FIRST Customer Support Representative, and he is adored by eBay members and eBay employees alike. The Vancouver employees were thrilled to welcome Griff to Vancouver and they enjoyed tapping into his rich history in Customer Support and hearing his great words of wisdom. Those of you who know Griff also know that he is a barrel of laughs - we've had a lot of good chuckles during his visit :-)

Griff, thank you for coming to visit us all in Vancouver, and..... HAPPY BIRTHDAY VANCOUVER!

Here are a few photos from the week:
