eBay Looks Cheap Even with All The Negatives

Small sellers revolted in Q1 and Q2. Larger sellers are finding the hassle too much in Q3. Most are stuck on the site through Q4. Unless eBay fixes a bunch of stuff PDQ 2009 Q1 will be ugly.

Although eBay likes to refer to 'our buyers' their customers are sellers and as more and more sellers pack it in the choices 'our buyers' will have get less and less.

Unless your assumptions are based solely on advertising & non-marketplace income they are probably not valid assumptions or even calculated projections. They are just guesses.
