Is eBay's Strategy Working?

I have an idea, look at the number of bids per page. May be 1 out of 12 or 15. I am not a business man but I made a lot of money on Apple and Netflix by using my eyes, mind and talking to people. What is ebay?Important question. The way I see it is they have 4 revenue streams. When they list, when something is sold, when paypal is used and their stores. Well when you don't sell anything the 2nd and 3rd stream dry up. Then after 2 or three listings you aren't going to list anymore because now it's a negative. Ebay execs. did not understand their job. It was to facilitate ease of use and keep the customers satisfied. They saw their job as keeping the Revenue stream creators at bay. Ever try to get a problem solved after you have lost your money, broken items, misrepresented, ect., ect. If I knew how to short, that would be my play.
They are circling the bowl. It is much more valuable to be highly compelling to a few than marginally compelling to many......they can barely do that.
