The eBay Community is made up of people around the world who buy and sell in the eBay marketplace every day. Whether a member is a buyer who shops on eBay for practical needs or for fun, or a seller who lists on eBay as a primary source of income - eBay becomes a part of our members lifestyles.
Many members have created second businesses by selling items on eBay. Some have moved their brick-and-mortar businesses to eBay. Others have quit their day jobs altogether, to sell on eBay! For millions of people, eBay is the place to share a passion for items that are special, or just to shop for practically anything on earth.
Since the early days of eBay, members have helped other members be successful on eBay, and this strong spirit of camaraderie continues to thrive. A primary way members interact with others is within the eBay Community area. Here are some of the resources you will find there:
Discussion Boards
In addition to buying and selling, exchanging email, and leaving feedback, many members also participate in eBays various online Community forums. eBay hosts a wide variety of public forums that encourage open member-to-member education and communication.
Through the eBay discussion boards, and chat boards, members meet and form meaningful relationships with other eBay sellers and buyers. Every day, members use these forums to get help from other experienced members, share their best practices with others who are just starting out, and just socialise!
Youll find a wide variety of conversations going on every day - from topics about favourite collectables to sharing tips on how to grow your business
News and Information

Updated daily, the General Announcements board is the place members can go for official eBay communication on new features, category changes, policy updates, and other news.
Scheduled Maintenance, as well as updates on site issues that may affect core features of the site, are posted about on the System Announcement board.
