      COME ON Power sellers, stop being so bitter...

      did you ever think of your price points plus your selection of goods being off target??--i MEAN COME ON, if people would sell something of value, people would beat a path to your door and buy...regardless of where you sell it...

      listing drop is welcome as there is SOOOO much crap out there that does NOT deserve shelf space--yes even virtual shelf space, and the more crap that is cleared away , the better the experience for those that ARE buyers


      ANd if we on wall street were to take one or 20 seller's perspective and extrapolate from there...we would all be out of business!

      PNC Financial Services: Facing the Heat
      ETFC B/D biz has benefited the same way as oil ,wheat and other commodities, the flood of "retail", ETF, and other mass market investments surrounding a limited supply of commodity....while RE, stock market and bonds suffer- these groups have been artificially propped up... ETFC will not survive because their customer base has a very shalow pocketbook, and that is getting tapped right now.

      Oil Bubble: How Speculation May Contribute to Recent Moves in Oil Prices
      this could also happen if,"powers that be" ""allow"... the price higher,creating a pricing bubble, to sap currency from China and INdia , who subsidize large portion of cost, artifically creating currency imbalances and thus affecting those economies.

      the price movement then attracts speculators, who have been chasing commodities, one to another, all year...witness the sell off in wheat corresponding to move up in Oil.

      the excess liquidity the fed has created must go somewhere...Goldmans' CDS and MBS/CRE biz is gone forever...and those profit revenues need to come from somewhere, so go long, pump up the price to 140/200...and then allow your traders huge profits once they sell into the ensuing retail buyers...

      what a game...

      eBay: Expecting Downside as Piper Eliminates 'Top Pick' Status
      BOY how obvoious are all these commenters real intentions, when they say they are boycotting and then shilling comments and recommending newer sites

      ioferjustparts,etc,etc... just plain dumb sites and will never get traction,volume,and scale needed to survive.

      remember ebay still does not advertise significantly and when they do, look out ..this stock will trade higher

      as for piper...this is no big deal --these brokers do this for TRANSACTION BIZ....not for rank tables...

      and once this round of sellers is out of the market it should move higher...

      this business is primed for upside --economy slowing= more sellers/listings, paypal is a moneymaker and global growth just starting

      get long!

      Disclosures: The Long / Short Dual Standard
      short sellers are as american as apple pie...the bet that something is not quite right at a company, and then speculating that it should be lower in value, does an important service...weeding out non-performance and saving many people from losing money in the long run...but spoiled CXO's complain rather than perform, because performance at the CXO level (or rather non-performance) tends to be blamed away on anything or anyone other than the decision makers....get a clue fxtrader, dont kill the messenger, get the answers from those glorious management teams, raking in as much as they can in quarterly option grants until the market turns those options underwater....i say god bless the shorts, and we need more...if they are wrong, the markets will correct any short term imbalance upon discovery
