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

just want make sure I understand Pattricia013 correctly,

A 30 billion dollar company , with a 100%+ gain off stock low and projetcted growth and she says ebay is "circliing the drain" ?

Sounds more like a miffed seller with an axe to grind than an investor.

Yep ebay does face growth issues and appears to lack a real plan to leverage its base of users, but this is not a distressed company, merely one with a lack of vision.

Is Apple Going to Compete with PayPal?

Paypal has provided a cheap fast easy safe way to millions of people to send money home. It is used worldwide.

There are plenty of poorly informed punters here quick to slag it off, but in terms of REAL service Paypal has eased the lives of many with cheap methods for moving small amounts of cash.
Prior to this many people had to pay huge fees to money handlers who flew back witht monies but took a hefty cut to do it.

Amazon Prime Solidifies the Online Retailer's Dominance

blah,,,



Just like other "Compete" posts the story leaves out data that does not fit.

Many of the amazon sales are "marketplace" sales , where amazon is taking a small fee and does not have anything to do with prime or free shipping.
And as to "new ace in the hole" it is years old.

But hey if you want to show the world, compete cant count then fine with me.

Why eBay Needs Shipping Cap

Guys it is about customer trust.

Lots of people are turned off by the tricks and BS that goes on all over Ebay.
