It is kinda sad to admit this, but I'm no longer an Education Specialist. It kinda stinks that it came to this, but at this point in my life it just didn't make sense to pay the fees to continue. My original plan was to teach quite a bit to supplement my income, reality being that I didn't enjoy teaching the basics class and wanted to move to the next level and teach advanced. However, in order to teach the "advanced" class, you have to have an ES feedback of 10 to qualify. In a year I couldn't get to 10. There are several reasons why, and I do take responsibility for most. Shamless self promotion:
Most of the people I encountered are people already selling on eBay and looking to get to the next level. Most people who are at that point don't need the basics course. And, those are the folks that I really wanted to teach.
I had no desire to teach people how to navigate around eBay, I wanted to teach people how to use eBay to make them money. I had lots of clients, but because I was dealing with them one on one doing coaching, I didn't build up that feedback to get qualified.
I should have sucked it up and gone out and did what I needed to do, but I just wasn't motivated.
I'm sure that without that endorsement from eBay and ability to be listed in their educators database, my coaching clients will be harder to find. But oh well, I'll just have to make-do.
