Shoppers to Spend $400 Million on eBay Using Its iPhone App

jack dee - what you post is of no concern to me - so, whatever makes you happy! Ebay is STILL in dire straits and needs a decent business model no matter what you say! Has anyone bothered to count up the revenue LOST by Ebay's current management? You can chose to pick an argument with me but the facts remain the same. LOL

I'm an 11 year ebay seller and if you did some research you would see I am far far from a miffed seller and far far from the only seller with this opinion. Ebay has been dreadfully mismanaged for the past two years - they want to be like Amazon...no, like Walmart....no, like Cosco....no, like Overstock!!!!! By this time Bubbles the Chimp would have come up with a solid business plan! Each quarter has shown a decline in their core - the very heart of Ebay. They are not improving - they are just covering up their failure with smoke and mirrors. I made lots of money on Ebay - I would like to do so again. If they don't change their management soon they will go right down the toilet. Right now, Skype and Paypal are holding them up. Skype is due to be sold and Donahoe has already said selling Paypal is a distant possibility! These are facts I base my opinion on.

They better pull something out of their hat - right now they're circling the drain no matter how much analysts try to hold them up. For the past two years Ebay has been its own judge and jury and has been purposely killing off its own business and alienating its own customers (the sellers who PAY them for service!. As a small seller I have no pity for them...none at all! They deserve what they brought on themselves!

Will Big Returns Continue for Tech Giants?

I expect Amazon to do as well or better than last year. They've been eating Ebay's lunch and stealing off their buyers. I'm an 11 year Ebay seller yet I shop at Amazon. I'm not alone there ;-) The difference between Amazon and Ebay is that Ebay is a rank amateur up against a sleek pro.

"The auction giant has been trading fairly strongly over the past couple months as investors seem to have welcomed the sale of its long-troubled Skype acquisition."

Okay, now I have to wipe the tea off my monitor! Ebay's stock is rising thru glowing articles by writers and analysts who cannot find their own backside using both hands! Never have I seen so many uninformed spout the virtues of company they do not understand!....odd....... sounds like their words came directly from ebay execs. The recent Ad Age article touting the wonderful "turnaround" at Ebay actually quotes Norrington throughout the article. This is SO WRONG! You are all giving an impression of Ebay that is NOT true. Ebay's core is failing. Their traffic is way way down...sales are way way down. Tell the truth because investors - who also do not understand ebay - are reading and wrongfully believing that Ebay is successful!
