first president of eBay
Jeff Skoll on Technology and Global Social Change Jul. 5 2011 - 9:30 am | 78 views By RAHIM KANANI  Image by Skoll World Forum via Flickr In a brief minute interview, first president of eBay and philanthropist Jeff Skoll shares his thoughts on early inspiration and the role of technology today in bettering our world.
What role did technology play in your life as you were growing up, and how do you perceive the intersection of technology and social change today?
Ever since I was a young engineer, I believed that technology could make the world a better place by empowering and connecting people and helping to improve lives. This was the underlying power of eBay and I’ve since applied these lessons to my other organizations, including the Capricorn Investment Group, the Skoll Foundation, the Skoll Global Threats Fund and Participant Media.
Today, technology is the social catalyst empowering communities in all corners of the globe to improve their lives and shape their collective future. Modern technology is opening floodgates of information and influence historically reserved only for those in power. It not only helps to uncover the way to tackle a big issue, technology also helps to stimulate the most elusive and most needed breakthrough of all: the will to act in our collective self-interest. 10:26 am mdt
eBay Scam ? Fans warned over Belladrum ticket scamby Alan Shields CAITHNESS music fans have been warned about the dangers of buying nonexistent tickets for Beauly’s Belladum Tartan Heart Festival.
Festival organiser Joe Gibbs said since tickets sold out, various scams have been operating over Gumtree, eBay and social networking sites including Facebook.
“These principally involve people offering tickets they don’t own and, despite our direct advice to our customers, some have passed over money without having the tickets in their hands and have consequently lost the money as the tickets probably never existed in the first place,” said Mr Gibbs.
“Our advice to customers who still wish to acquire tickets to Belladrum and wish to risk buying them in the open market is never hand over any funds until you have the whole ticket and counterfoil in your hand and you can check the hologram.”
The organiser said people should preferably use another genuine ticket to make a comparison.
Although the festival has sold out, there are opportunities for people to buy cancellations from www.skiddle.com
The electronic tickets being trialled this year offer the safest way to avoid fraud.
Mr Gibbs said he was “very disappointed” by the amount of scamming and touting of Belladrum tickets this year and he will be looking to improve the situation for genuine fans in the future.
Those lucky locals who have a genuine ticket will meanwhile be able to enjoy a hotly tipped Caithness band playing at the festival which takes place on August 5 and 6.
Wick-based four-piece Always the Sixth will take to the goNORTH Seedlings Stage to play alongside other risings stars such as Kid Canaveral, Lightguides, Aerials Up, Carnivores and the Whisky River Band on the Saturday night.
Top acts Texas and Deacon Blue are to headline Belladrum this year. Also announced are Guillemots, Echo and the Bunnymen, Frank Turner and Newton Faulkner. 8:25 am mdt
More than 60,000 People Join eBay.com Every Day; Auction Education Market Is ExplodingPosted on July 5th, 2011 by admin in Make Money News
These are numbers are unbelievable, says Thomas Haselhorst, CEO of Monster Internet Empire, yesterday evening at the Gold Coast Australia. 60,000 sign-up per day and according to eBay Inc., the value of merchandise sold on eBay in 2004 is with $34.2 billion equivalent to the GDP of Cuba . Ebay has 147.1 million registered users in first quarter 2005. Thats greater than the population of Russia.
These massive numbers make eBay the number one online auction site and basically everybody can buy and sell on eBay. eBay.com has become the favourite choice for business opportunity seekers wanting to make money online. More than 720,000 people earn their living on eBay either full or part-time the CEO points out.
But there is another side of this medal, since computer skills and technical knowledge are mandatory to survive as an eBay seller. The competition is huge and beginners can almost be certain that their item is on-sale in the same category from another seller. These days its hard to make money even on eBay.com.
Ebay opportunity seekers need to understand that they have to educate themselves and to learn how to create attractive websites and how to present the item in the best possible way. Without this knowledge – they wont survive in the jungle called eBay.com. There are many brilliant tutorials out there teaching eBay beginners and new customers how to sell on eBay, but many are lacking some fundamental information like how to set up professional auction listings or which software to use to make attractive listings, and how to manage their current auctions, the CEO advises.
The market for information product educating eBay sellers is massive and almost everyday a new How-To-Make-Money-on-eBay ebook or course is coming up. All this flood on information makes it particularly hard for an eBay newbie to decide which one to choose to get the best auction education available.
We have many clients with virtually no computer skills or internet knowledge. But with the right education even these newbies can successfully sell on eBay, the CEO says.
Auction-Design-For-Free.com is part of Monster Internet Empire network and is designated to help eBay Newbies to sell on eBay. We show the beginners every single step they need to know. Steps that arent taught in many other professional tutorial but which are mandatory to know says the CEO. We are here to help and we dont leave the beginner alone. 7:24 am mdt
