eBay Listings Off to a Strong Start In 3Q06

Mr. Boyd may want to read an excellent paper published in the Journal of Marketing Vol. 70 (January 2006) authored by Fornell, Mithas, Morgeson, and Krishnan: "Customer Satisfaction and Stock Prices: High Returns, Low Risk". Last year Ebay held a relatively good customer satisfaction rating. This year, I suspect a significant drop in customer satisfaction coupled with other market forces will keep Ebay well away from their 52 week high and relatively close to their low. To get an indication of the depth of customer consternation; type the following into any Google search bar "Beware of Ebay and Paypal" or visit themwed.org and click the banner on the right of the page.

If you are considering Ebay stock then go here to see how they treat their vendors as 2nd class citizens

This is the pulse of the selling community. In it you'll see just how Greedbay or FEEbay devalues individual business owners. Since the announcement on July 19th, it has turned peoples lives upside down causing them to scramble to save their businesses. I don't think people realize just how patronizing and demeaning this company is to force sellers to pay higher fees while other sites get a free ride. To basically create this havoc while American jobs have to close because they cannot compete with China. Sometimes making money is not as important when it comes to the devastation of up to half a million stores globally

No one hears me or other ebayers. We are just crybabies. Crybabies that work very hard despite search manipulations and customer service that is worse than Dell's
