eBay in the Basement - But Not for Long

Wrong.

Half of PayPal revenue also comes from eBay.com transactions. And the vast majority of the $212 million figure you mention is actually advertising on the ebay.com marketplaces.

So in one way or another about 80% of revenue comes from activity on ebay.com marketplaces.

If ebay.com fails, so does ebay INC. End of story

eBay: Q3 Looks Good but Q4 Guidance Disappoints

With eBay pumping half a billion $ into share repurchases each and every quarter, there is no way that EPS is going down anytime soon. EPS was a record high this quarter and will continue to increase even if overall revenue is flat or decreases.

eBay is Listening

This is great news. I am very happy and encouraged eBay are finally listening to their sellers. Well done eBay for coming through and lets hope they keep it up.
