“We still need to decide [the best location and time for the office to open], as our goal for the moment is to find the best candidate,” said Feiler, teh source cites. The head will be in charge of eBay’s communications and will represent the firm in the country. The person will also be responsible to search for local products that can be marketed to a global audience.
