May 7 | Virtual Event
12:00PM PT / 2:00PM CT / 3:00pm ET

First up we at 12 PM Pacific / 3 PM Eastern, we have the main presentation with VP & GM US Dawn Block, Director Community & Engagement Rebecca Michals, Product Managers Hazal Zorlu and Evan Swanson, Strategic Accounts Lead Dallan McKee and VP Seller Experience Xiaodi Zhang revealing key announcements and strategies for summer sales.

It's great to finally see Xiaodi Zhang attending a Seller Check In event!

While Zhang has been regularly featured in pre-recorded videos at annual eBay Open seller conference, this will be the first Seller Check In she has attended since rejoining the company in September 2022.

eBay Has A New VP Seller Experience - Xiaodi Zhang
eBay has a new VP Seller Experience, Xiaodi Zhang, who returns to eBay after a 10 year stint at 1stDibs.

She replaced previous VP Seller Experience Harry Temkin, who used to make an appearance at almost every check in when they were held monthly - usually giving live demos of new features and tools eBay was working on to enhance the selling experience.

Many sellers say Harry's demos were always their favorite segments and they miss the in depth information and personal interaction from those earlier check ins.

Will Xiaodi finally bring back those live demos after ~2.5 year absence?

Interestingly, eBay has provided a place on the registration form to enter a question for Xiaodi to potentially answer live at the Check In - let us know in the comments below what your question would be!

After the main session, sellers can attend sessions hosted by eBay personell on topics such as Promoted Listings 101, Refreshing Stale Listings, Shipping Updates, and Business Storytelling.

And finally, sellers can close out the event by choosing seller hosted networking sessions offering tips and tricks for their eBay businesses.

The agenda and presenters are subject to change, so it's always a good idea to check back in a few days before the event.

And hopefully we'll get more details about the big in person eBay Open event being planned for eBay's 30th anniversary - so far all they have revealed is it will be sometime in August.

I tried it to post an IG promo and it couldn't get past the selection stage. Photos errored out and required new photos. If i want to take new photos, i can make a better posting in the native IG post generator.
