3 Theories on Why Fewer eBay Listings Are Showing Up on Google

According to Ebay (& the fake Donahoes on this site), everything is just rosy peachy, sales are up, sellers are happy, customer satisfaction is up.
Here's more good news for Ebay:

"Ebay Down Further as Morgan Stanley Downgrades"
by: Eric Savitz posted on: October 02, 2008 | about stocks: EBAY - "There’s new selling pressure on eBay (EBAY) Thursday morning, after Morgan Stanley’s David Joseph cut his rating on the stock to Equal Weight from Overweight."

“Seller checks and proprietary data indicate that trends deteriorated more than expected in Q3 amid eBay’s ongoing transition in its core marketplace, greater economic sensitivity and poor demand,” he writes in a research note Thursday. Joseph writes that he now expects greater deceleration in global gross merchandise volume in Q3 than previously expected, with a possible year-over-year decline in the U.S. And he also cautions that eBay faces a “challenging holiday season.”

"Joseph also notes that the company’s current issues are likely to linger: he cut estimates not only for Q3 and Q4, but also for 2009." "We have less conviction in eBay’s strategy to transform its core marketplace from an auction-based ‘thrift’ to a transaction-oriented platform that better addresses fixed-price in-season retail,” he writes. "Jospeh says he had been thinking that the end of the company’s 3-plus year turnaround would come soon, but that “recent trends are telling us otherwise.”

Nadine: True, bankruptcy may not be around the corner but Ebay has a lot of expenses buying up different sectors which cost in the millions each plus fighting lawsuits, and when they lose enough customers, the revenue will not be sufficient to balance out the expenses eventually.. especially when the company is on a downward spiral.

This ass Donahoe who is posting comments here about how high customer satisfaction is, that stock prices are up, and that " Let's not get ahead of ourselfs here! As you can clearly see eBay confidence is at a all time high, and sellers & buyers are delighted with the new policy changes that have been recently implemented....The policy changes are prooven positive growth for the eBay community..Open your eye's and stop be sore tails" is obviously no CEO and is amusing himself with his B.S. First, get a life and go back to school to learn English, grammar, and how to spell. I see 5 errors in your 4 sentences. Sore tails???? What a jerk..!!!!

Joe Lin & Nadine: Joe, you are on another planet and Nadine, you get what's going on. Ebay is completely and foremost at fault for everything going down and they did it all by themselves with the promotion of the brain-dead Donahoe. Even if he didn't write the earlier posts above, he is in charge of making the decisions to implement all of the assinine changes that are forcing us to leave Ebay. It's like he's doing everything he can to rid Ebay of users. Is that it??.. Is Ebay trying to get rid of all of the small-item/small business sellers and buyers?? If so, Ebay is cutting off its nose because the big business users have left too.

I'm hoping and wishing that Ebay goes bankrupt sooner rather than later so we don't have to hear any more of its "everything is great" crap which we all know is a " big load"..!!

Donahoe is an idiot and eBay execs are bigger idiots for hiring and promoting him. All the B.S. that eBay sales are up 20% and buyer satisfaction is at an all time high is a blatant lie and an insult to our intelligence. Who is he trying to B.S?? We all know that stock share price is at an all-time low and members are doing nothing but complaining and leaving eBay over all of his negative changes..myself included other than a few occasional listings. Now he is banning Money Order payments as a seller's choice and requiring PayPal and credit card payments only? Is this legal to ban other payment options when PayPal is owned by eBay and is the required payment method???? They tried this in Australia and it didn't fly because the Commissioner called it an unfair practice. Then I read that eBay was not going to require PayPal/credit card only payments here in the U.S. but would require PayPal to be offered as a payment option.. still unfair and biased toward their own PayPal monopoly..!! But now currently they've apparently decided to try and get away with requiring PayPal/credit card only payments after all here in the U.S.

All of the negative changes implemented this year have become a pain in the ass and very unfair to users. I hope eBay continues going down the sewer and Donahoe along with it.. the sooner the better. I was a 10 year eBay user and I helped make eBay the enjoyable, profitable auction site it had become. Fortunately I saw what was coming and sold my eBay stock months ago at a profit before it hit an all-time low. Now it is a sham and it is disgusting to watch them drive away all the members who put money in their pockets for so many years. They are just greed-mongers in my opinion and don't deserve our business or our money.
