What Will Become of eBay?

@Tippie

When I buy from Amazon, I buy "from amazon" - not the myraid amazon marketplace sellers.... It's not worth it for the small amount you might save on the item (vs buying from amazon itself) to have to deal with an unknown quantity....

What Will Become of eBay?

As a buyer, I'm sticking with amazon -- I tried to buy a few things on ebay for xmas presents. 2 out of 3 turned into disasters -- one was an item for which the sale was "canceled" by ebay because the seller had been suspended -- of course they canceled the sale a week after I paid, and then it took me another 2 weeks to get my money back. I ordered the same items from amazon for about the same price, no problems.

As a seller - ebay is a mess for me -- the only thing that keeps me there is a lack of an clear alternative for auctions in my category.

I dumped my ebay stock at $25 (at a loss) and I'm sure glad I did...

If anything, I'd be short not long right now...
