eBay: Where It Stands, Where It Should Be Headed

ebay has been strangling auctions for four years now - changing the site to downplay them, raising their fees, even insulting them by saying that nobody likes them anymore. Then they use the increased fixed price numbers as proof that auctions are on the decline.

Auctions are flourishing in the real world and should be flourishing on line if they were properly managed. eBay just turned against them when they became fixated on growth above all else. eBay should put this cash cow out to a good pasture and let it give milk. They are destroying the foundation of their brand by trying to become what they are not.
