With Heavy heart I have to say that community board has become no more than the lone punching Bag where buyers/sellers take out their frustation.
I see that many sellers like Raj Jee, Prince Jee, Mustafa Jee to name a few trying to help community members with whatever best they can in whatever little time they have to spare. I also see buyers like Bhushan Jee giving insights and help to fellow buyer's in need.
What I am shocked to notice is the involvement of eBay staff in these discussions. "ZERO", any fellow member who is following these discussions religiously will know what I mean, This week I remember seeing only one sigle post from an eBay Pink on one of the thread, that too had no substance in it.
eBay is trying to be ultra active on the facebook fan page. But what about it's own backyard. I posted a suggestion yesterday on eBay fan page in facebook. I got a thankyou message and a reply within hours.. But gloom and silence prevails in the community boards with no one on eBay to listen to problem, clear doubts or say at least express solidarity..
Its is much better to shut down community board and directly link this thing with your facebook profile if eBay has lost confidence on its own community and its own members.
Please voice your opinion on this!

I am not sure I am not dreaming reading this post, as it is a feeling of immense pleasure seeing you post on a topic. But I would differ a little with what you say. In case these threads are read (which I know they actually are as a seller was suspended after shill bidding was reported here on boards), then the staff reading should always comment on those, It wont take hours I guess.But this would in a way put forward the eBay point of view in the discussion. I guess Discussion boards are more discussion than reading.
eBay Staff are also a part of the community and they commenting will add value to discussions and help in clearing of many doubts which we sellers or buyers cannot clear.
@ Amitava Jee
As we discuss many times before the thing which is USP of eBay if compared to other portals is that it's a community based portal. We have users here, no buyer and sellers. As every seller can buy and every buyer can sell. So why differentiate. But the product centric campaigns which are being done these days are not a very positive steps in promoting eBay as a community trading portal.
@ Mustafa Jee
The people who 'once upon a time' used to take part in those lively discussions here with good understanding of the rules and perfect outlook of eCommerce have been frustrated seeing the poor response they get in here. The quality of the discussions is going downhill owing to a single factor that is very little participation of eBay staff in the boards.
If we members see some live pink always in here reading things commenting and implementing suggestion only then those type of brains will be motivated.
@ Prince Jee
ROCK ON WORDS.
