About TameBay

Sue & ChrisTameBay was founded by Chris Dawson and Sue Bailey, two British PowerSellers. Between them they have traded on eBay for nearly two decades, and have more than 50,000 positive feedback comments (and just 2 negs!).

Sadly in 2011 Sue died, and since then Chris has been joined by Dan Wilson as co-editor.

Chris and Sue met on eBay UK’s PowerSeller forum longer ago than either of them like to admit. By October 2006, both had become frustrated with eBay’s inability to keep their users informed of new features on the site, with the impenetrability of eBay’s Help pages, and with the lack of a UK- and Europe-centred news site for all things ecommercial. In a moment between classes at eBay University, Dan Wilson said what were to be fatal words: “you need a blog”. TameBay is the result.

What’s in a name?

The name is a contraction of “tame eBay” – as in, to make eBay manageable. It’s not tam-bay, or tammy-bay, or (as Google wanted for a long time) anything to do with Tampa Bay in Florida!
