Town Hall

How do I join the Town Hall?
In order to participate in a Town Hall event, return to this page on the time and day of the event, and click the Town Hall graphic above which will take you to the eBay Radio Group page. From there, follow the steps for reaching the media player provided to us by our broadcast partners at eBroadcast Studios (producers and hosts of eBay Town Halls and eBay Radio).

How do I submit a question to be answered in a Town Hall event?
eBay members are encouraged to participate in Town Hall events. If you'd like to ask a question, jump on those phone lines by dialing our toll free number: 877-474-3302. Griff and Bill will welcome you on the air and invite you to ask your question. (Limit one question per call).Alternatively, questions can be submitted by emailing TownHall@ebay.com. The eBay Community Development team will review these questions, collect recurring themes and hot topics receiving a lot of of attention in the Community and present those for Griff to read aloud so Bill and the Town Hall panel can answer. eBay will review every question that is submitted but due to time constraints and resources, not all questions will be asked or answered.

How does eBay determine the questions that are actually asked and answered during at Town Hall event?
For each Town Hall event, we attempt to answer as many questions as possible. We look for recurring themes in the Community and hot topics that have generated lots of conversation among eBay Members. Priority is given to eBay Members who call in to 877-474-3302 with their general eBay related question. Asking your question live and "on the air" throughout the eBay Community allows your voice to be heard by the company's decision makers.

Is there any special equipment needed to participate in a Town Hall event?
No. All you need is a computer with speakers. Our broadcast partner, eBroadcast Studios, provides the rest automatically. Just follow the steps from the eBay Radio eBay Group page.

Can I listen to a recording of the Town Hall at a later date? Yes. Archived recordings of recent Town Hall events will be made available through the eBay Radio eBay Group page. Archives of 2007 and 2008 Town Halls will be available again in the near future.
