Most of you know me through Value Added Resource. What you may not know is that I’ve built VAR alongside a full-time day job. That company is winding down at the end of the year, so I’m deciding what I want to take on next. Over nearly 20 years in ecommerce, I’ve gone from customer service to running operations for an Amazon business with 1.8 million products, helped take a brick-and-mortar retailer online and turned an underused eBay liquidation account into a $2M+ sales channel. I launched VAR because I saw a gap in how marketplaces were being covered in the media and decided to build what I thought was missing. Since then, I’ve handled the site, newsletter, social and pretty much everything else behind VAR myself. My reporting draws on seller reports, policy changes, court filings, earnings disclosures and industry relationships to spot stories, patterns and connections that don’t show up in press releases. I’m keeping the possibilities fairly open and don’t have a particular title in mind. If any of that makes you think “Liz would be weirdly good for ___,” my DMs are open.

CBS Boston Call for Action helps man get $11K after receiving only half of payment when selling truck on eBay.💸 Once again, if only there was a way for $EBAY to do the right thing without customers having to contact consumer affairs journalists first.🤔 youtube.com/watch?v=XlPI77v2…
