T&S welcomes Matt

by Sue Bailey

This post was written in October 2007; specific information contained within it may be out of date.

In recent months, there’s been a lot of speculation about Rob Chesnut, eBay’s Senior Vice President of Global Trust & Safety, and his future within the company. Rob took a sabbatical just after eBay Live, which prompted some bloggers and eBay community board users to speculate that he wasn’t coming back. Today, we can tell you that he *is* back - but he’s got a new job. Rob will now be known as Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel, a position which should draw on his pre-eBay legal experience. Trust and Safety is to be left in the hands of Matt Halprin, known to listeners of eBay Radio as the “resident Trust and Safety guy“.

We wish both Rob and Matt luck in their new positions.

    [...] The other measure requested is for high volume sellers to identify themselves. Rob Chesnut said eBay weren’t averse to the idea but noted many sellers are reluctant to include their real name, address and telephone number on their eBay listings. Unless every seller was obliged to do so again the measures would be useless. High-volume sellers in many cases already do include contact information on eBay, thieves would simply use multiple smaller accounts to sidestep the issue. [...]
