Jason Bohn Fills Us in on His Secret eBay Avocation
PGA
Tour Player Jason Bohn tells eBay Senior Category Manager
for Sporting Goods, Joe Meyer, and Leigh Bader of the PGA
Trade-In Network about his own passion for selling on eBay.
PGA Tour Player Jason Bohn was obviously excited about
the PGA Trade-In Network and all the benefits it brings
to the game, but when we got him talking about the eBay
side of the equation that's when he really lit up...begging
the question "So Jason, do you eBay?"
Turns out the answer is a big "yes!"
and that selling on eBay actually helped him get on
Tour!
It
seems early in his career, while cutting his teeth travelling
the country on a satellite tour, Jason made it a priority
to use his off-time to hit the antique shops in every
city he visited looking for antique door knobs (of all
things) which he would buy and then post on eBay, using
the profits to subsidize his continued travel.
"With 95 Million users on eBay it's not hard to
find a buyer for just about anything" Bohn said.
"You guys have really hit a home run here by taking
the learning curve out of selling on eBay" Bohn
said. "...making it so easy for PGA Pros to sell
on eBay and giving buyers the confidence of dealing
with someone they can trust...that's a winning combination"
Bohn said.
