All Pinks Day and Game -- August 23rd 2005

Aug 22, 2005 10:39 AM
Hi everyone,

The next Pinks day is tomorrow August 23 and the Front Porch was selected to host all of the Pinks so you all can get to know us a little better. Last month we played a game and it was so successful we decided to do it again!! So expect members from other boards to visit.

There will be different Pinks posting to this thread during the day. Each Pink will ask a few questions about the areas of eBay they are connected to and the first person who gives the correct answer to the question will receive a prize. (limit two prizes per person)

This thread will be reserved for the game only and no disruption of it will be permitted.

The thread will be locked during tomorrow's Town Hall meeting but we will unlock it as soon as the meeting is over. *Hint* there will be questions about the Town Hall after the event. For more information on the Trust and Safety Town Hall at 2 pm tomorrow check under the eBay Community News in the sidebar.

You can find the rules for this contest at the following link.

This thread will be unlocked the day of the game Tuesday the 23rd. We hope to see you all here.

Maeve

A pink is an E Bay employee who monitors the boards.

willysgrandma, mulberrymemories and thewendyshow, you are all correct & are the winners!!! A "pink" is an eBay (or PayPal) staff member who posts to the boards. The pink comes from the pink header on our posts. :)

Hi I an new here too. I also wondered what a "pink" is. I figured it was people who have different sections of ebay that they work for and call themselves pink as a collective name for their jobs for these games.

Next question is a little bit tough maybe:

Where do you go to ask for an item you want to be listed on eBay? What is the URL, and how do you navigate to the page?

To get this right, you'll need to post the name of the feature, the URL to it, AND give directions for how to reach the page, starting at the eBay home page.

First person to post all that correctly will be the winner. :)
