EBay: The Doldrum Years

Erick,

It is not about the Doldrum Years (VERY catchy, by the way), it's about the Idiocy Years!

"This is not about fixed price versus auctions." Again, correct.
It's about a BIG MESS!

Ebay is aiming at Amazon and can't even hit Walmart. Which I can get in my car and drive to.

Pause: You know, this makes the statement that Amazon is better than ebay. Does Headquarters not get associated message here? How pathetic?

And again, you're right. "People are comfortable with trawling the net..." Yep! Ebay created such a mess, people went exploring! And discovered there's a whole BUNCH of new worlds out there!

So even if some return, their attention has now been divided. Ebay has shot itself in the foot! And I think has somehow managed to hit an artery in the process!
