News: Hurricane Katrina - Trading Advice
August 29th, 2005 by Laurie BarakHere is a short note from Rachel Makool, Director of Community Development for eBay.
The Southeast part of the United States, such as Louisiana and Mississippi, has been hit very hard by Hurricane Katrina, and our thoughts go out to everyone affected.
If you are involved in a transaction with a member in these areas, please keep in mind that many people are without power or otherwise unable to do some of the activities associated with trading on eBay. We encourage you to be patient with these members and to keep communicating with them if any concerns arise.
Sincerely,
Rachel Makool
Director, Community Development
Please keep the folks in Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida in your thoughts. Let’s hope the hurricane doesn’t cause major damage and that it blows out soon so those affected can start rebuilding and getting back to their normal lives.
