In April 1998, we reincorporated in Delaware, and in September 1998, we completed the initial public offering of our common stock. Our principal executive offices are located at 2145... More

- Monday, June 17, 5:57 PM U.S. online retail sales rose 14.6% Y/Y in May, says comScore. That sits well with Cantor, which is reiterating a Buy on Amazon (AMZN) and eBay (EBAY). Though May's rate is down from April 16.9%, it's above Q1 13.3%. Mobile activity is providing a lift - comScore estimates mobile made up 48% of time spent on U.S. retail e-commerce activity in Q1 (34% from smartphones, 14% from tablets). Meanwhile, eBay CEO John Donahoe predicts China will give PayPal a license, thus allowing it to take on Alibaba's dominant AliPay service. eBay currently handles $6B/year worth of Chinese transactions, much of it from local merchants selling abroad. Analysys predicts the Chinese online payments market will soon top CNY1T ($163B). Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
- Tuesday, June 11, 9:21 AM Amazon (AMZN) -1.9% and eBay (EBAY) -2%, following markets lower, after ChannelAdvisor reports same-store-sales growth declines for clients relying on the companies in May. Amazon's growth rate fell to 25.8% (its lowest over the last 12 months) from 30.6% in April, and eBay's fell to 16% from 20.5% (auctions -18%, fixed-price +16%, Motors +30%). The numbers also aren't great for Google (GOOG), which is seeing rising e-commerce ad competition and has been tweaking its strategy: sales from search ads -0.8%, and comparison shopping (e.g. Google Shopping) +0.3%. comScore puts total U.S. e-commerce growth in the 14%-15% range. 2 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
- Monday, June 10, 11:13 AM Amazon (AMZN +1.5%) is launching a $299/year same-day shipping tier for Amazon Prime, says Bloomberg's Brad Stone. The news follows a strings of remarks from Amazon in which it downplayed its same-day ambitions. eBay (EBAY +2.8%), by contrast, has been quite vocal about wanting to create a national same-day infrastructure; Google is also targeting this space. Also: As expected, Amazon is expanding its grocery delivery business to L.A.. AmazonFresh, available in Seattle since '07, will (for now) be available for free on a trial basis to Prime subs in several L.A. zip codes; its offerings include local gourmet items. 17 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
- Wednesday, June 5, 5:33 PM "Shoppable windows" are eBay's (EBAY -2.3%) latest idea for expanding into the bricks-and-mortar realm: the e-commerce giant is setting up four 9' x 2' touchscreens in busy parts of NYC that will allow customers to order items from retail partners, and have them delivered within an hour via couriers (who use PayPal Here to accept payments). Fifth & Pacific (FNP) is the first retailer to sign up; the company sees it as a way to offer more inventory than can be shown off in stores. eBay is already testing a home pickup service, developing apps for physical retailers, and hatching plans for a large-scale same-day delivery network. Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
- Wednesday, June 5, 7:35 AM Dragonfly Capital warns that eBay (EBAY) is poised for a bit of a pullback. Pointing to a variety of technical indicators, the firm thinks shares will drop in the near term before providing a nice entry point for long-term investors at $45.50. EBAY -0.7% premarket to $52.20. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, June 4, 8:20 AM eBay (EBAY) is upgraded to Buy at Compass Point with price target of $63, analyst Doug Greiner calling the company "remarkably well-positioned (PayPal) to benefit from the structural shift in retail to omnichannel solutions ... We see the recent broader market turbulence as an opportunity to against revisit owning the shares." Stock's ahead by 0.8% premarket. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Tuesday, May 28, 10:58 AM Amazon (AMZN +3.3%), eBay (EBAY +2.4%), and Overstock (OSTK +5.1%) outperform after May's consumer confidence print comes in at 76.1, well above a consensus of 71.5. Amazon and eBay rallied 11 days ago in response to strong mid-May consumer sentiment data. Comment! [Tech, Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, May 22, 11:07 AM AIG remains at the top Goldman's list of hedge fund hotels (the 50 stocks appearing most frequently among hedge fund top 10 holdings). Google (GOOG) retains its #2 position. Apple (APPL) - in the top spot for 3 years until February - remains at #3. Goldman notes the basket has outperformed the S&P a bit this year and the top 20 has done better by more than 1000 basis points. We smell an ETF offering. The rest of the top 20: C, GM, PCLN, VMED, NWSA, MSFT, HTZ, JPM, APC, PFE, QCOM, CHTR, HES, CBS, EBAY, DAL, EQIX. 4 Comments
- Tuesday, May 21, 2:53 PM In what could be a win for PayPal (EBAY), Google (GOOG) is shutting down Checkout in 6 months to focus its online payments efforts on Wallet. Though Google will still handle payment processing for developers selling on Google properties (Play, Chrome Web Store, Offers Marketplace), 3rd-party merchants using Checkout and lacking an internal processing solution will have to find an alternative. The announcement comes a week after Google announced several new Wallet features, including new developer APIs and an option to attach money to Gmail messages. 6 Comments [Tech]
- Tuesday, May 21, 2:42 PM eBay (EBAY -0.9%) continues to look for more ways to grow the use of PayPal. New initiatives include RadioShack (RSH -2.7%) setting up PayPal as a payment option at its stores beginning this month and working with Jamba Juice (JMBA +0.7%) to find a way for its customers to pre-order drinks and pick them up in a separate line. The big picture: PayPal will be in an estimated 2M merchant locations by the end of the year, but the company still has some major work to do to break the swipe habits of consumers. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, May 17, 2:38 PM Amazon (AMZN +1.5%) and eBay (EBAY +1.9%) are outperforming after mid-May U.S. consumer confidence numbers blow past expectations. Of course, it was European sales (I, II), rather than U.S. sales, that put investors in both companies on edge following their Q1 reports. 1 Comment [Tech, Consumer]
- Thursday, May 16, 10:25 AM eBay (EBAY -0.2%) roundup: 1) Google (GOOG) is adding the ability to attach money transfers to Gmail messages (via Google Wallet). Though unlikely to have a big impact on PayPal's merchant transactions, this move could allow Google to grab a chunk of the market for more informal online payments (particularly consumer-to-consumer), given Gmail's huge reach. 2) CTO Mark Carges recently sold 111K shares at $55.53. 3) Lazard has launched coverage with a Buy and $55 PT. Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 15, 1:51 PM Perhaps take it with a grain of salt, but a surprising 44% of consumers responding to a survey on the impact of an online sales tax say they will buy less items online if the legislation is passed into law. The number rises to 75% for the 18-year to 25-year old demographic (ZUMZ, ANF, URBN, ARO, BKE, VRA). Though seemingly a bad development for Amazon (AMZN -0.6%) and eBay (EBAY), many retail analysts thinks those shopping habits are pretty hard to break. 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, May 14, 1:49 PM PayPal (EBAY) is pulling out all the stops to challenge Square in the iPad cash register space: it's now offering free payment processing for 2013 to any U.S. business that exchanges a register for a PayPal Here solution, which includes a stand, cash drawer, and printer. Meanwhile, Square is rolling out a $299 stand/card swiper for its iPad solution, and Groupon (GRPN) is launching a register app, rebranding its mobile payments unit (includes a restaurant app) as Breadcrumb, and offering $5K in free payment processing to new clients. VeriFone (PAY) and NCR, whose traditional offerings are threatened by the likes of Square, also offer iPad point-of-sale solutions, as does NetSuite's (N) Retail Anywhere unit. 1 Comment [Tech, Consumer]
- Tuesday, May 7, 12:30 PM The Internet tax bill (Marketplace Fairness Act) passed a Senate vote 69 to 17 but faces a much bigger obstacle in the House where some members are expected to draw the line on what they call a tax increase. If the bill ultimately succeeds, retail analysts see a marginal benefit for the retailers that are hit the hardest by the "showrooming effect" - Best Buy (BBY -0.8%), Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY +0.1%), and PetSmart (PETM +0.4%) come to mind - while pegging eBay (EBAY -0.3%) as a company that might have the most to lose. 1 Comment [Consumer, U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, May 7, 10:18 AM eBay (EBAY -1.2%) saw same-store sales increase 20.5% Y/Y in April, up from a 19.2% rip in March, according to ChannelAdvisor. Fixed-price sales increased 18.8% while the phased-out auctions saw sales decline 7.2%. Improved weather helped eBay Motors increase sales 34% as milder weather prompted more consumers to buy auto parts and accessories online. Comment! [Consumer]
