Don't miss today's Town Hall with Lorrie Norrington

Posted by Ninad on May 19, 2008 at 09:41 AM in Members in the Spotlight | Permalink

Ninad_postToday is Town Hall day! Your opportunity to ask eBay execs questions and let them know what's on your mind -- live, and on the air! Lorrie Norrington, President of eBay Marketplace Operations, and several other eBay execs will take your questions today from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific time, on all things eBay.

To get the collective ear of our execs, call us at our toll-free number – 1-877-474-3302 - between 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific time and ask us your question on the air. If you'd prefer, you can drop us an email at townhall@ebay.com. For information on how to listen live on WSRadio or access the archives after the event, visit the Town Hall page.

As usual, I'll be putting up pictures from the Town Hall as it unfolds this afternoon.

It's now a few minutes before 3:30 pm, and our execs are taking their places on the panel. Here are Lorrie Norrington and Griff sharing a moment before we go on air:

Dinesh Lathi, VP Seller Experience, reassures a caller that the "retail-like" buyer experience eBay has been talking about doesn't mean that the "uniqueness" of discovering hard-to-find or quirky items on, for which the site is famous, will go away.  As Griff quipped,  "What would Jay Leno do for his 'Stuff We Found on eBay' segment?"
