Presentations were also given by international courier DHL and a new service for sellers to manage their multi-national sales marketing - Global MerchantRun. PayPal SE Asia also attended and presented information. A buffet style dinner was provided by the Holiday Inn for early arrivers. Of the 30 or so sellers in attendance, approximately half were foreign expatriates resident in Chiang Mai and trading from here. This is a stark contrast to the eBay team's last visit to Chiang Mai, in 2006, when they held a seminar for all levels of buyers. That earlier meeting was predominantly Thai attendees with only a handful of foreigners. Could this disparity in ratio be indicative that Thai sellers are not succeeding on the platform?]]> http://www.gazlannathai.com/eye/2009/02/ebay-top-sellers-summit-in-chiangmai/feed/ 1
