eBay and PayPal have called it quits...New Ceo promises new changes

[X911]

Very very interesting...more changes on the way folks.....


eBay sellers can expect significant changes next year. The Wall Street Journal interviewed eBay Marketplaces president Devin Wenig, who will become the CEO of eBay after the breakup with PayPal. Wenig told the newspaper he wants to reconnect with merchants.

But what may be worrisome to those merchants are the words he uttered next:

WSJ: What will you do differently as CEO of stand-alone eBay?

Mr. Wenig: I want to reconnect with small and large merchants, I want to energize the eBay community, I want to build great product experiences that are both useful and engaging. There will be changes; there will be significant changes. I am excited about it.

WSJ: Care to elaborate?

Mr. Wenig: No.

When John Donahoe took over for Meg Whitman as eBay CEO in 2008, he launched such a significant pace of change that he later had to admit it was disruptive to sellers and promised to make major changes in twice-a-year rollouts with some advance notice to sellers.

Those changes may not extend to online payment services, however. Weing also said, "PayPal is going to be the dominant payment provider on eBay for a long time and we want it that way, and the separation will ensure that it is that way."

You can read the interview and watch a video on the Wall Street Journal website.

We already have threads on this from 21 November.

Not new news.

Yes I'm aware, but this is more about the new CEO stating he wants to re-connect with smaller merchants again.
The last CEO basically admitted that his current policy changes were disruptive to sellers. In fact this entire PayPal split is pretty non relevant because PayPal will remain as the primary "preferred" payment gateway.

eBay needs stealth accounts. Thanks to their banning system

WSJ: What will you do differently as CEO of stand-alone eBay?

Mr. Wenig: We banned too many sellers and sold the remaining ones out to nigerian scam artists. I want to try to fix this disaster by pretending to realize that it's important to have people selling on our site for us to make money.

WSJ: Care to elaborate?

Mr. Wenig: No. I have no idea how to un-sink a ship that has more holes that swiss cheese. I will be adding James Cameron to our staff for his excellent work on Titanic as his knowledge will definitely be useful for us.

FIFY.
