Over the past year, we began experimenting with eBay and discovered an exciting opportunity to apply our team’s strength in data and predictive analytics to help over 25 million eBay sellers make smarter decisions and be more successful. This is an exciting new chapter and the Decide team will be making the move to eBay’s new Seattle-area offices. By September 30, Decide services, website and mobile apps will no longer be available.
