eBay vs Amazon: My Take

You are right Amazon is on the right track. I think you are all way off though in that Amazon seems to be pouring money into developing a larger software portfolio. Amazon is becoming a potential growth company. Ebay already hit their stride. They lack the imagination to take it further. I dont know how many people wrote off Bezos once or twice but if you ever saw the original biz model you would know why he started the company. I think they are going to be bigger than Ebay.. maybe one day they will buy Ebay. Ebay is ok but its like when the search engines couldnt find anything..then along came Google. Ebay is like a disorganized second hand shop. Their biggest mistake was screwing their customers by nickel and diming them including with paypal. If they had half a brain they would realize that they could have a bigger pie if they took a smaller cut. Ebay doesnt have vision.
