It’s a big day for eBay tomorrow, with the release of third-quarter earnings, a conference call with analysts, and a Town Hall meeting with users.

eBay is scheduled to release earnings on October 21, 2009, which it generally does after market close (4 pm Eastern), and its Q3 2009 earnings call with analysts is scheduled for 5 pm Eastern (link). Note that Amazon.com’s call with analysts is scheduled for October 22, 2009 at 5 pm Eastern (link), and Overstock.com has not yet announced when it will release third-quarter earnings.

According to the eBay Town Hall page on WSradio, which broadcasts the audio stream of the events, the next live town hall is scheduled for October 21 from 6:30 to 8:00 pm Eastern.

eBay takes call in questions during the event, or you can email your questions to townhall@ebay.com.

Analysts will likely want to know more about Skype’s sale and legal battles, PayPal and Bill Me Later, and of course what kinds of results eBay is seeing on the marketplace after recently rolling out changes to the PowerSeller program and to search. Seller questions will likely focus on the recent changes as well, including the Top Rated Seller program, traffic to the site, and lots more! Got questions? Post them below.

UPDATE 10/21/09: Here’s the announcement from eBay about today’s Town Hall Meeting posted today at 12:30 pm Eastern. (Not a lot of notice!)

Call 1-888-327-0061 and ask your question on the air or email your question or comment to townhall@ebay.com. eBay will be taking questions on all topics related to the Fall 2009 Seller Release.
