Hi, I'm Eric Tung from eBay Canada’s Community Team, and I'm here to introduce two exciting new features: eBay Blogs and eBay Wikis. Our Community has always shared information with each other through discussion forums, Reviews & Guides, and more. Now there are two other ways for you to communicate with other members.

eBay Blogs

With eBay blogs, you can create your own personalized publication featuring your own writing and links to photos. Use your blog to talk about just about anything, from tips and tricks for other eBay members, to a rundown of your recent vacation, to your love of precious stones. And if you’re a seller, keeping a blog is a great way to interact with potential buyers and to talk about your products.

Plus you can personalize your blog appearance with a variety of templates, or use HTML and style sheets to create your very own look.

You can access and search eBay Blogs at blogs.ebay.ca. Once created, your personal blog will be found at www.blogs.ebay.ca/[yourMemberID]. Start your blog now!

For more information about eBay Blogs , please see our information page and our FAQ page.

eBay Wikis

We've been working on ways to help members contribute useful information and knowledge to the Community. A wiki is the perfect format to do just that. Basically, the eBay Wiki will allow members to quickly and easily create articles about a variety of eBay topics. Once created, these articles can be found by other members through a simple search.

But here's what makes the wiki so interesting. Not only can other members of the Community read these articles, but they can also add to and modify existing content. Articles are not owned by any one individual – they belong to the entire Community. By design, a wiki is collaborative - you can work with other members to provide the best material possible. Over time, the information in the eBay Wiki articles will be refined and eventually become a reflection of the collective wisdom and shared experiences of the entire Community.

This simple but powerful tool will help everyone to benefit from the shared knowledge of those who know eBay best – our buyers and sellers!

You can find the eBay Wiki at www.ebaywiki.com.

I hope you will use both of these features to share your ideas, opinions and eBay knowledge with the rest of the eBay Community.

Sincerely,

Eric
