Advance to the Next Level»

Sellers that have outgrown basic eBay selling can have a tough time stepping up their game.  If you're looking to eBay as a real income source or sales channel, you need to know how to move Beyond the eBay Basics.  Learn about eBay Stores, Pro Listing Techniques, Tools, Market Research, Product Sourcing and more!

 


 
Remote Classes, Private Lessons and Mentoring Now Offered via Internet
 

Anyone with a broadband internet connection can now receive live training, mentoring or other assistance with eBay skills.  The interactive presentations are broadcast live across the internet to homes and desktops.  No special equipment is required, although a headset is recommended.  Sound can also be delivered by telephone.

Access to expert training and information may be hampered by distance, local availabilty of qualified trainers, expense, or even a convenient meeting time or place.  Busy parents and business people, older folks, and those living in small or rural communities all face challenges in building their skills. 

Now, the meeting is on your computer, wherever you are.  The meeting can take place when you have time.  No travel is required.  No travel and no expensive meeting room means less expense and more convenience for everyone!

Rates are determined by time required, scheduled time, and material covered. If you'd like more information on training, mentoring or other help via Internet, please email or call. 

Ed. note: I've been asked several times about this.  I do not use the PowerU-prepared materials, as these are not licensed for use in distance learning situations. I use other professional materials and tailor the presentations to meet the needs of the student.

Uncle Joe Adamson Named to eBay's 2008 Community Hall of Fame
 

eBay Live, Chicago -- Several eBay members were recognized for their contributions to the eBay Community and charitable giving during the keynote presentation at this year's eBay Live convention.  Among the five members inducted into the Hall of Fame by CEO John Donahoe and President Global Marketplaces Lorrie Norrington was member unclejoeadamson, known simply as "Uncle Joe" to his many friends, students and fans.

Lauded for his efforts at educating other members and contributing to eBay through the Voices of the Community program, Uncle Joe was presented with an award and a $2500 donation from the eBay Foundation to his choice of charitable organization, the Skyline Urban Ministry.

Skyline Urban Ministry operates a food pantry, clothes closet, free eyeglass clinic and other programs meant to support and enrich the lives of children and adults who require assistance.
