What is the future of the About me page?

PWC Blog - June 10, 2009

As more and more sellers (I am even seeing it when I am in the buyer role) are being exposed to the new view item page, there is something missing on the page that some may not have noticed.

The link to a sellers About Me page is gone.  There is no graphic link to the about me page.

This change begs the question "What is the future of the About Me page?"

I do not have an answer to that question. 

I can tell you that I have heard that eBay may be trying to mainstream the view item page and un-clutter it from images (I would hazard a guess that if this is true it might be to improve load time - although the about me logo is small and should not impact load time.)

I have heard rumors and some speculate that the About Me page and your My World page would somehow merge or be the same.

Nothing official I have heard or seen from eBay.

What are your thoughts?

    The eBay About Me page is invaluable for marketing your business!

    This is especially true for eBay Trading Assistant consignment sellers who want eBay buyers to know more about their eBay Drop Off Store consignment business so the eBay buyer will feel more comfortable buying consignment items that probably are gently used.

    Please keep us posted!
