Back To School Time For eBay Sellers

Last week was a busy one for eBay sellers trying to keep up with yet another round of changes on the site.

This is the 'Back to School' season and eBay Sellers have several opportunities to attend trainings that will help them understand the latest changes and learn how to incorporate them successfully into their business.

If you missed the round of webinars eBay presented last week, don't despair. There are other options for you!

#1 -The RocketPlace Conference which will be held in Las Vegas from Sept 10-12, 2008. RocketPlace is a conference for eBay sellers at all levels which is focused on helping them, whether eBay is a new, old, small or major channel for their sales.

Some of the featured speakers include Marcia Collier - author of eBay for Dummies, Todd Lutwak - Senior Director of Seller Development at eBay and Jay Berkowitz of Ten Golden Rules.
