- Monday, March 18, 5:16 PM A Nomura note predicting higher card fees for PayPal (previous) helped eBay (EBAY -0.6%) make fresh 2013 lows. "Payment networks are taking the gloves off," writes Nomura. With PayPal's rapid growth and offline expansion efforts making it a bigger rival to Visa (V) and MasterCard (MA), "the incumbents will do everything in their power to prevent PayPal from riding on their rails without extracting a toll." Evercore thinks a new MasterCard fee for online payments services could be aimed at getting service providers to share more transaction info. 4 Comments [Tech, Consumer, Financials]
- Monday, March 18, 1:04 PM Amazon (AMZN) is the new eBay (EBAY): just as eBay merchants have long griped over rising Marketplaces/PayPal fees, Amazon's 3rd-party sellers have become agitated over a string of fee hikes - both for Amazon's cut on merchant sales, and for related services. 3rd-party sales now make up 39% of Amazon's unit sales, and have been lifting its gross margin. eBay could benefit from the backlash - one firm estimates it costs $2.72 to sell a $10 item on eBay vs. $3.92 on Amazon - but as eBay knows all too well, complaining and leaving are two different things. 7 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
- Thursday, March 14, 12:05 PM More on Evercore's upgrade of eBay (EBAY +3.4%): Analyst Ken Sena forecasts 2013 revenue of $16.6B and EPS of $2.88, above a consensus of $16.35B and $2.75. He downplays comments made yesterday by MasterCard exec Chris McWilton about fee increases for PayPal, which took a toll on eBay shares yesterday. Sena thinks even a 50% fee increase will yield less than a 50 bps margin impact. Separately, PayPal has rolled out an iPad register app to take on the increasingly popular Square Register; it's the online payments giant's first native iPad app. Comment! [Tech, Consumer, On the Move]
- Thursday, March 14, 8:16 AM eBay (EBAY) is upgraded by Evercore Partners to an Overweight rating with a reiterated price target of $64. EBAY +1.5% premarket. 1 Comment [Consumer, Tech]
- Wednesday, March 13, 1:30 PM PayPal (EBAY -3.2%) acquires Duff Research, a developer of private-label mobile apps for TiVo, Adidas, and others. "What we're really after with this deal is the innovators and experience," says PayPal CTO James Barrese; division chief David Marcus has been busy trying to overhaul the culture of the online payments giant. eBay's GSI Commerce unit already helps build apps and in-store mobile promotions for retailers. 5 Comments [Tech, M&A]
- Tuesday, March 12, 10:02 AM eBay (EBAY -0.9%) turns lower after the latest batch of data from ChannelAdvisor show the company saw its same store sales growth rate fall to its lowest level since April 2011 in February at 8.2%. The reaction could be a tad overdone with the extra leap day last year providing a -3.6% headwind on the comparable for this year. eBay SSS breakdown: eBay auctions -20.3% Y/Y; eBay fixed-price +15.6%; eBay Motors +6.8%. 2 Comments [Consumer, Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, March 6, 2:03 PM eBay (EBAY -2.7%) shuts down Instant Sale, a service that lets users trade in electronics the company then resells with the help of a third party. An eBay spokesperson suggests the company's experiments with new resale options, together with a focus on offering "simpler, easier selling experiences," were responsible. Instant Sale had produced ~4M offers since its 2011 launch. (earlier) 2 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
- Wednesday, March 6, 11:29 AM eBay (EBAY -2.9%) saw a slight growth slowdown in February, says Baird's Colin Sebastian in a report that seems to be pressuring shares. Baird's sales tracker (for Marketplaces transactions?) indicates growth fell to a low teens Y/Y rate in February from a mid/high-teens level in January. However, Sebastian maintains an Outperform and $60 PT, and is "comfortable" with a Q1 forecast for 12.5% Y/Y U.S. merchandise volume growth. (ChannelAdvisor) 1 Comment [Tech, Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, March 4, 3:17 AM Wal-Mart (WMT) U.S. CEO Bill Simon is "anxious" to compete with Amazon's (AMZN) Marketplace for independent merchants, identifying the offering as the tech giant's "number one weapon." Wal-Mart launched its own Marketplace four years ago but it only has six outside retailers while Amazon has 2M. Other players ramping up their efforts include eBay (EBAY) and Google (GOOG). Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
- Thursday, February 28, 12:12 PM Coinstar (CSTR) coin-counting machines add an exciting new feature as the PayPal (EBAY) ATM pilot is set to expand around the nation. Customers will be able to add coins and currency directly to their PayPal account, as well as withdraw funds, or send money to another account. The initial rollout in Dallas "quickly saw adoption and interest from users." (PR) 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Thursday, February 28, 6:58 AM BMO Capital initiates coverage on eBay (EBAY) with an Outperform rating and $64 price target. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, February 22, 9:39 AM Hit 'em where they ain't: Having made limited traction challenging Square's dominant mobile card reader position in the U.S., PayPal (EBAY) is bringing its Here reader platform to Europe. Here supports the continent's Chip & PIN standard and will see a full commercial launch in the U.K. this summer, before expanding to other regional markets. It'is one of several payment solutions PayPal is pushing to offline merchants. 3 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
- Thursday, February 14, 9:24 AM PayPal (EBAY) is hiring 450 additional workers for a customer service center in Ireland. The move comes nearly a year after the online payments giant hired 1K workers in the country, and a month after CTO James Barresse said PayPal would step up its hiring pace. Ramping opex led PayPal's margins to decline in Q4. Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
- Wednesday, February 13, 12:29 PM ChannelAdvisor's January data could be helping Amazon (AMZN +2.8%) rally: the firm's clients saw a 34.3% Y/Y increase in Amazon same-store sales, up from 29.8% in December. eBay's (EBAY +0.2%) growth came in at 18.8%, down from December's 22.2%. In a positive for Google (GOOG +0.1%), search ad-driven sales grew 1% after falling 18% in December thanks to a migration to Google Shopping. Shopping engine sales (inc. Google Shopping) rose 7.9%, down from December's 15.5%. SA contributor Paulo Santos, a long-time Amazon bear, argues Amazon benefited from favorable comps. 7 Comments [Tech, Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, February 12, 1:08 PM More from John Donahoe: The eBay (EBAY) CEO notes 70% of Marketplaces transactions now involve fixed prices rather than auctions, and sees this number rising to 80%. He also claims eBay's total selection is up to 350M items, and that the company is selling 10K cars/week via mobile. Emerging markets, local commerce, and the improved use of data for personalization and merchandising purposes are named as priorities going forward. 4 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
- Tuesday, February 12, 1:00 PM Though Amazon has its doubts about the concept, eBay (EBAY) thinks its can provide same-day delivery on a large scale. "No one single retailer can do it on their own, so we are building it for the retail industry," says CEO John Donahoe (previous) at a Goldman conference; he envisions offering retailers a bidding platform for unused delivery inventory, and thinks there's more than enough to go around. eBay is trailing same-day services in NYC and San Francisco, and is also experimenting with home pickup. Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
