Sep28	eBay's Perspective of the Professional eBay Seller's Alliance - PESA Conference Ty Tribble September 28, 2006 Know More: eBay News, eBay Trends, eCommerce News 2.0, eCommerce News eBay Chatter, Colin Rule: Last week I was lucky enough to attend the Professional eBay Seller’s Alliance (PESA) conference in San Francisco (PESA is an independent group - not an eBay program). It was a great gathering of about 200 or 300 top sellers. As usual, PESA put on a wonderful show, with good food and stimulating conversations. It was held at the Stanford Court Hotel, right at the top of Nob Hill, with amazing views in every direction. The sessions were great, with a lot of interesting information, but (as usual) the best discussions happened in the hallways. We talked about the challenges facing sellers in terms of margin pressures, the recent crackdown on excessive shipping, the re-balancing of the marketplace, and finding the right mix between stores and auction format listings. I was very eager to get some feedback on the new PayPal Dispute Resolution process, and most of it was quite positive. I made several pitches for people to fill out their Customer Service Messages in their seller profiles – it still amazes me that even top sellers don’t know about that feature. Not all the conversations focused on challenges -- Golf44bob told me some amazing success stories about his recent diversification into the wine business.
