How many eBay/Paypal employees sell on eBay?

[aking]

I wonder how many eBay/Paypal employees sell on eBay and break their own rules and get away with it b/c they control it. Does anyone personally know any ebay/paypal employees that sell Vero on ebay? I bet they are all power sellers.

[delldell]

Not sure but do you think there is any rule that prohibits ebay/paypal employees from selling big on ebay? Even they are allowed to sell on ebay maybe they are required to disclose their selling activity to ebay to avoid conflict of interest?

I think one is more likely to become successful on selling on ebay given he works on ebay and he should know lots of insider secrets to get rid of most, if not all the issues that we encountered and beg for help in this forum.

It would be great to get some eBay or PayPal workers to here too. A lot of information would come, no guesses anymore.

I don't think that's a good idea......

Nah I dont think there are any..Why?

OK before you can take a job in EBAY/PAYPAL.You would face a special test after all review for the final take off.

The questions in this test are:

Are you good at monkey business?
People who answer yes will pass.

Are you good at lying or cheating?
People who answer yes will pass.

Do you know exacly what you doing when you work for EBAY?
People who answer no will pass.

So after the test,they got the job but their name/user ID been perminately suspended due to 'HIGH RISK" security reasons.....

I am 100% sure employees sell - its a no-brainer, they know how the system works, especailly what not to do and they get all the suppliers details and ideas they need

[slokor]

Wonder if it would be possible to 'bribe' an ebay/paypal employee to 'work' with me... I mean they cant be making that much money otherwise they wouldnt have such a tremendous turnover in employees.
Mayve a few of us should pool resources and make it worthwhile to one of these paypal limitation guys to work with us - I know id be willing to fork over a couple of hundred a month to not have to ever worry about this sort of thing... Pay one of these guys $5k a month on behalf of a bunch of us to make sure we never run into problems - think this person will resist the temtptation?
Just a thought

They are doing probally better than you and I can imagine.

They are working both sides of the fence.

They know what sells and how to get all the info on where and how to get supplies.

And to add icing to the cake, they are immune from suspension or limitations.........

Excuse me, away to take a banana break.

[apconcen]

The paypal sucks forum has former paypal employees who posted in the past

[NZT]

wow green, how did you get that picture? Thats "Derek" from the ebay accounts department.

He is one of the better more intelligent ebay employee's

(You can tell as he has developed a method to carry a "third" banana)

Employee of the month

[delldell]

I wouldn't mind paying $100 usd per month to have paypal/ebay employees here answering our questions...imagine if 100 of us subscribe to this service then they guy will have 100x100= $10000 per month...not bad huh?

[captainjack1980]

Realistically you would probably have to go quite a way up the ladder to find someone who would be worth the money - I doubt the monkeys know that much more than has already been established.

Genius Idea!
Someone told me that people bribe eBay employees with about 50,000 to sell whatever they want and be immune to limitations/suspensions.
The easiest way to actually bribe a paypal employee is if you have a friend or know someone that works there that is willing to work with you.

[slokor]

Captainjack -
Youre probably right. Question is - how much do you suppose this person would want to get for his/her effort? Is this even realistic?
The list of ebay/paypal employees is not too difficult to find (found them on a couple of sites already) so approaching someone in the right position shouldnt be overly complicated. Hell Id be willing to do it myself if enough people showed an interest.
Official Genius - I doubt it will be $50,000 unless you were thinking of a onetime payment. I was thinking of an ongoing monthly arrangement to keep giving this person an incentive.
Would be real interesting if something actually came out of this lol!

[OfficialGenius]

$50,000 is one time payment. That's what I meant.

[GreenBean]

ffs, stop this rubbish. Concentrate on selling well and stop with these pipe dreams

Fantasy over.
