Re: Bye-Bye Bill??
Auctionbytes says false alarm
Quote: As announced in Germany, Philipp Justus is coming from eBay Europe to a management position at eBay in San Jose (U.S.). Some blogs had speculated that Justus would be replacing eBay North America President Bill Cobb, but Bill can sleep soundly tonight knowing his job is safe. According to eBay spokesperson Hani Durzy, Justus will be coming to a management role in the U.S. and may actually be reporting to Cobb... http://blog.auctionbytes.com/cgi-bin/blo...29419.html |

There's a good chance that Justus would have been the same or even worse than Cobb as a leader. eBay's Europe's management is as reviled in Europe by sellers as Bill Cobb is in North America. |

[/quote] I know you're right. ![]() It's just that when I see that name, my mind goes straight to the SB after the last fee hike. I quickly recall all the devastated sellers who depended on ebay to support their families (many of them disabled or single moms)and were given the finger by Cobb and company. I would so love to see him pay for that with his job (not that it would hurt him financially, but at least it would be something). ![]() |

Re: Bye-Bye Bill??
Quote:Asked whether the creation of the new group could be seen as a sign that rebalancing efforts haven't been successful, Williams said that while eBay hasn't said a lot on the record about it, they are cautiously optimistic. "We are encouraged by the progress, so we're putting more behind it. In other words, it's even a more huge failure than we could imagine, and someone needs to be made the scapegoat for trying to save the mess. ![]() ![]() PPBBBBBTTTT !!!!!!!!!!!! ![]() |
