I-D Media, one of the largest and most experienced community specialists in Germany and a certified eBay developer since March 2007, has conceived and realised the state-of-the-art social networking solution. 'The new features implemented by I-D Media are part of a pilot project and should also be used in other eBay marketplaces,' says Nerses Chopurian, Director Corporate Communications,Germany, at eBay. One of the biggest challenges facing the new platform was tackling the conceptual complexity and setting up a high performance system. Boasting 212 million registered members in 33 international markets across four continents, with more than 20 million in Germany alone, eBay is one of the world’s largest e-commerce sites. With over eight million products to choose from, the aim was to give users advice and assistance in their search for the right product. More features – more service 'The top priority was to improve communication and knowledge transfer among members,' says Regine Haschka-Helmer, CEO of I-D Media AG. As a leading social commerce platform, the eBay marketplace leverages web 2.0 technology and customer networking. Members with expert status can advise buyers and sellers in all phases of buying and selling. Experts serve as guides in the marketplace and can, for example, provide in-depth information on price and performance, recommend valuable product reviews or simply share buying and selling tips. By providing assistance and tips members can earn kudos and thereby improve their 'standing' or expert status. The new eBay community will therefore play an active role in the buying and selling processes in the German marketplace. The popular discussion boards and groups have been integrated in the community with a host of new features. They are now more clearly arranged and offer a wider range of information: current auctions, buying advice, discussion topics, blog posts, recommendations and much more. Another new feature enables logged in members to choose to have interesting posts, groups and experts as well as members with similar interests and activities shown directly on the homepage using their own profile. Various new communication tools such as Skype make contacting other members a breeze. The new community throws the spotlight on commitment, expertise and quality, allowing members to find the right product faster. This lays the foundation for an unbeatable knowledge marketplace.
