We are organizing our first annual "Ask the Experts eBay Sellers 2009 Mastermind Group Meeting/Dinner Special Event". This event will be held on Wednesday, May 13th for our Meet Up members only. You must be a member of the Chicagoland eBay Sellers group to attend. Guests of members must also join the group to attend. This will help us limit the attendees to those who want to be successful selling on eBay.

This is an opportunity to meet successful eBay sellers, who either have a full time business or a part time business selling on eBay. Many of our guest speakers are Power Sellers and have been in business for several years, one with approx 59,000 in feedback and another with 38,000 in feedback.

Our guest speakers include:

*Education Specialists Trained by eBay to teach others to sell on eBay
*eBay Trade Assistants who sell product for others
*eBay Sellers who sell wholesale products on eBay
*Sellers who create their own product to sell on eBay


Each one has created their own niche and has been successful on eBay. Our guests will talk about how they got started, what they sell on eBay, and various tools and tips they use that could help you with your own eBay business. We will go live on eBay to visit our guest speakers' stores and items.
Come and network with other eBay sellers in many different levels. We have done much research and planning to find a location that would allow as many people as possible to attend this event while keeping the cost affordable.

The evening will begin at 6:00 p.m with registration and networking. At 6:30. we will have a Buffet meal which includes salad, pizza, pasta and soft drinks. From 7:00 til 8:30, each of our guest speakers will have the opportunity to talk followed by a brief question and answer period. From 8:30 to 9:00, we will open up the floor for panel question and answer discussion.

The cost of this special event is a very reasonable $10.00 to cover food and soft drinks and the room rental cost. If you plan to attend, you must RSVP and pay in advance $10.00 no later than May 6th. You will be able to pay through PayPal. As a courtesy to our pre-paid guests and to guarantee there will be enough food, walk-ins will not be allowed.

PLEASE NOTE: IN ORDER TO KEEP TRACK OF PAYMENTS, YOU MUST RSVP YES THROUGH MEET UP ALONG WITH YOUR PAYMENT THROUGH PAYPAL to [masked]. ONCE YOU HAVE RSVP'D, WE WILL BE ABLE TO MARK YOU AS PAID.

Please note there will be no audio or video recording allowed during this event!!

Who attended?

  • 35 attendees
    •  It was a great event! Excellent event organization and Rich & Nila were excellent hosts (It was my first time with the group and I felt very comfortable). The panel was very well rounded and the timing was paced nicely. I very much liked the classroom layout (as opposed to an auditorium layout where I would have had to balance stuff on my lap). I look forward to the next event of this kind! 
    •  Thank you to all who attended tonight's event. Thank you to our speakers - you were fantastic. This was an incredible night. eBay Sellers shared their knowledge and experiences. A lot of planning went into this event - and we feel it was a great success. 
    •  The speakers were very good and passed along some valuable information. It would be very helpful at one of the meetings if the actual mechanics of EBay were discussed. The people were very nice and it was a pleasant evening. 
    •  wonderful!! This group is the best!! 
    •  Informative group of eBay sellers sharing information and how-to help that one can only learn by experience. Energetic personable people with reliable answers to questions about ebay. Making mistakes can be costly...learning how NOT to make them: priceless!! 
    •  Great information. I wish there was more info on wholesaling. 
    •  Even though the organizer was concerned about the quality of the event, it went very well. The food was good and plentiful. The classroom setting was excellent (everyone had a seat at a table, the speakers were informative, the overhead projector was a great idea and the environment was private with no outside noise or distractions). 
    •  Very friendly group. Great speakers. Well organized. 
    •  Nila & Rich did a WONDERFUL job of organizing EVERY aspect of the event! Thank you!!! AND thank you to the individuals who shared their experiences with us. 
    •  We appreciate all who came out for this exciting night. Thanks again to all of our speakers - you were awesome. True to life stories are always interesting to listen to. Some of the people we had talked to expressed an interest in learning more about selling on eBay. If you are interested in the Basics of Selling on eBay class, please let us know. We love to share our knowledge and experience. 
    •  Great as always! I was thrilled to see so many people come out for the 1st ever Ask The Experts event. A wonderful, friendly crowd. Thank you Rich & Nila for all your hard work in setting this up and making it a smooth sailing event. I always learn so much from other eBay sellers and I'm always fascinated to learn how other sellers do their business. Everyone handles things differently and each person's experience is unique.

       This was my first meeting with the group. I really enjoyed it, and learned a lot too. Also, it's nice to know that there are other serious eBayers in this area. Thanks to all who did the work of getting this meeting together. 
    •  I've never been so excited about joining a group, in fact, this is the first group I've ever joined and it was the best experience. I was nervous going in and came out doin cartwheels!! I learned tons and can't wait to put the information to use!! Looking forward to the next meeting on the second Thursday and I'm especially excited about the next event!!!! Thanks to everyone for being so warm and friendly, it's the kind of environment I've been looking for!! See you all soon! 
    •  It was very interesting and exciting to hear stories and selling strategies. 
    •  Really enjoyed it. Learned a lot. Met nice people. Could see the effort and pride that organizers put into the meetup. Length of meetup was good even though some of us would have talked forever!! :) 
    •  I would go to more meetings like this
