Phil - I tried to say this, but you have put it superbly. It's a
cockeyed scheme, but ebay
acted as if the buyers were the customers, but it's the sellers who
pay the freight.

It's actually a great question.
I'm sure in a year or less there will be a book about it. Seriously.
eBay forgot one basic, very basic thing, for any business.
Their "customers" are the sellers.
They stopped looking after their customers, the people that actually
made their
business work.
Take a good look around the fall of so many major companies in the
past year, and those now doing some fancy footwork around the abyss.
There are definite similarities.

You know, who really cares who posed the question. It is a good
question. As for Bruce, can't one wax philosophical even if they are
no longer standing on the sinking ship?

Rick, oh yee of little faith.
Of course it could be more transparent!
For example, if Bruce were hard-selling he might have added, "And
speaking of 'jumping the shark' how 'bout those JAWS, JAWS 2, JAWS
3, JAWS 4 'THE REVENGE,' DEEP BLUE SEA, OPEN WATER, BLUE WATER,
WHITE DEATH, SHARK ATTACK, SHARK ATTACK 2, SHARK ATTACK 3
'MEGALODON,' 1 sheets that are all STILL AT ONLY .99!!! What do I
gotta do for you, chums?

It seems a bit peculiar that Bruce is the one to pose this
question, as we all know he has no ties with eBay anymore
whatsoever. He's not even feeling the effects of any changes there
might be in eBay's format, etc.
Just appears to me to be another obvious attempt to promote his own
auctions. Kind of funny, actually.
The whole thing couldn't be more transparent...
