      Six Attractive Stocks with Hidden Gems
      Paypal isn't a gem, it's a lump of coal. 6,000 complaints filed against them with the BBB. EBay tried to force it as the only payment option on their Aussie site, but were shot down by the powers that be over there. Ebay is also being sued for antitrust violations for trying to tie Paypal in with eBay on their U.S. site. The only reason Paypal is still in business is because eBay has banned Google checkout and any other competitor to Paypal on their site. How long do you think they can violate the Sherman Act before someone stops their monopolistic policies? Not much longer, IMO. Do some research in the future before you recommend a stock that YOU own. EBay has enough media pals trying to hype their stock to death. EBay is dead as can be now and will soon be a $20 stock (or worse).

      Piper: eBay Beginning to Turn Corner
      Sorry, but eBay is going in the wrong direction. They are alienating their sellers wth weekly policy changes. The latest debacle is forcing ALL sellers on their Australian site to accept Paypal and only Paypal. This has caused a HUGE uproar over there. They cannot continue to lose sellers and grow. They believe there is and endless well of sellers, but they are dead wrong. Many of the best eBay sellers have gone to Amazon. No listing fees and no hassles being the main reason for their departure. EBay is a poorly run company, period.
