eBay to Start Community Forum Migration on June 11
eBay announces it will migrate its community forum platform starting June 11, which will result in the loss of historical discussion data prior to 2023.

What happened?
eBay plans to switch its community forum service provider on June 11 to provide a more modern interactive experience. The new platform will only automatically migrate user activity data from 2023 onwards, and old discussion records will no longer be retained.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
If sellers rely on the forum for historical operational experience or policy discussions, it is advisable to back up important information before migration and stay informed about new forum rule changes.
