No More eBay University

A great post below by Deb Levitt from by As Was

Evidently, eBay will no longer be holding eBay University, which sent eBay and PayPal staff around the country with classes on the basics of eBay selling. This is because eBay’s Education department has a program that designates people as an Education Specialist Trained by eBay. The better of that crop are designated as Certified Education Specialists Trained by eBay. These are typically eBay sellers who know eBay quite well, and are hopefully good with public speaking.
They hold classes on a variety of levels, usually near where they live. So chances are that there’s a least one near you, and you can attend their classes for reasonable rates.

Classes right now include:

The Basics of eBay Selling

Beyond the Basics

The Basics of Buying

eBay Giving Works

eBay Stores

This program is also designating better instructors as eBay Business Consultants. I’m still a little wary of this since we ARE eBay Business Consultants, yet we’re not listed in there since I don’t qualify to be listed based on the criteria from the Education department. So that’s a bit weird, but hopefully the people with that title are good at what they do.
Another place to get education would be our conference! http://www.aswasconference.com We may not be looking at the basics of selling on eBay, but we’ll be looking at intermediate and advanced topics to help eBay sellers at all levels grow and be more profitable. As a business event, you can write your whole trip off on your taxes, plus we’ll be teaching you how to make more money. So it pays for itself. You can find Education Specialists and their classes at www.poweru.net/ebay.
