Piper: eBay Beginning to Turn Corner

I have to say that by and large investors talk like they are all elitist egg-heads, but all they rely on for their "research" is whatever Forbes or Deutsch or pick-a-broker-any-brok... is putting out and they're being fed a line of "IT" ~~~ may I recommend reading blogs, googling "I quit ebay" or "I hate ebay" or going to medved and tracking ebay's listings and sell through rates... there's an eye-ful for ya. Find out what the hottest auction sites are competing w/ebay and how's their traffic? Gauge it, track it.

No one's going to hand it to you on a silver tray... not Motley Fool, not no one. You consider ebay sellers to be whiners, but, have another think... we've been in the thick of it for years and we've stood a lot, but we have had all we can stands and we can't stands no more. Ebay is fond to show us where the door is, so, guess what? We are running for it.

As for you investors, you too quickly dismiss anything you don't care to see. Not a clever strategy. Here's a freebie... a certain international auction site added more than 400,000 listings to its 550,000 listings in one day... today !! Me thinks trouble's afoot for ebay. You know what else... paypal and ebay know exactly what's going to whom, when, where and how and they are not telling you... Why? Well, the stock would drop -that's why. Balls in your court... who'll be crying next?
