Jim "Griff" Griffith has confirmed he didn't retire after the eBay for Business Podcast was abruptly discontinued in September, revealing he has instead been serving as an in house advisor and consultant to the company in his new role of
Senior Manager Seller Engagement and Community.

Many sellers were dismayed when the podcast came to an end, expressing concerns that it was just one more move away from more direct seller engagement after regular chat sessions with eBay staff were also discontinued and previous Senior Manager Seller Advocacy and Engagement Brian Burke retired last year.
