Leslie Walker, author of the .com column for The Washington Post, spent part of last week at the 2nd annual eBay Live conference, a three-day training and networking event for the auction site's elite sellers. Below are some photos she sent back from the gathering, which was held in Orlando, Fla.

	As part of the keynote address, EBay chief executive Meg Whitman interviwed site founder Pierre Omidyar about his original vision for the auction Web site.

	Comedic singer "Weird Al" Yankovic belted out the song "eBay," his parody of the Backstreet Boys song, "I Want it That Way." Listen to an excerpt of the song.

	A class staged by D.C.-based Liquidation.com about how to buy surplus merchandise and sell it on eBay drew a capacity crowd, with scores of would-be surplus buyers turned away at the door.

	Adam Ginsberg, who sells about $700,000 worth of pool tables a month on eBay under the name "zbilliards," donated five pool tables to charity causes in Orlando and set up an area in the convention where fellow eBay dealers could play on his tables for free. Above, an eBay Live attendee enjoys one of Ginsberg's tables.
