What is My Motivation for Helping eBay Sellers?

I've been asked that question many times since I came out of seclusion following the closing of Glacier Bay DVD and to be honest with you, in the early days I wasn't sure. I had the most fulfilling 4 years of my career selling on eBay and one terrible year (2005) I care deeply for eBay sellers from the hobbiest to the mega sellers. When I was selling on eBay I was part of a great time in the history of the Web and ecommerce.

 
Today, unfortunately times have changed and I see things that are happening that should not happen, so I speak out. I believe in the independent spirit and ingenuity of online sellers and I want to do my part to help them succeed. You might say it has become my calling to speak out about the plight of online sellers as well as to encourage them to fight on.

My motivation, is to be known as the Seller Evangelist and do my part to spread the good news of online selling. Who's with me?
