eBay Buyer Incentives Are Not a Good Bargain

Disruptive innovation, the ability to turn around a company quickly and painfully, unfortunately it is supposed to be used on only the host company, not on a venue where that disruption affects thousands of businesses.

Ebay is a VENUE -- it used to allow buyers and sellers to trade to the benefit of both. Now it is an arrogant control freak with O.C.D. The only one benefitting is the Ebay board in bonus options etc.

They still refuse to pay shareholders a dividend, and avoid all questions in regards to dividends. This means holding Ebay stock has proven to be losing proposition, unless you can short the stock.

eBay Still Hazy

IF you are going talk about Ebay from the a buyer and seller perspective, then please please first actually buy and sell there regularly for at least a year. I would say buy at least 100 items and sell at least 100 items.
Your entire post reads like Corporation Propaganda or put it another way Ebay Paid Advertising.

Not Seeing a 'Better & Safer' eBay

Ebay has not earned a penny for it's shareholders. Ebay stock does not pay a dividend. The only ways to earn off Ebay stock is to be on the board and be given stock options, or buy the stock cheap and sell when it appreciates in value.
