What happened?
During an upgrade and migration of its forum system, eBay did not retain posts from the legacy forum. The community discussions accumulated over decades will no longer be visible after the migration.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Sellers should promptly back up any important operating experience or discussion records previously saved in the eBay forum. Changes to platform community rules also highlight the need to establish an independent knowledge-management system.
