 Growth from 13 weeks (one quarter) ago: 50.1 percent
 
 This is the biggest one week drop we have ever seen in the eBay auction count.  In fact, in 18 weeks, there was a drop only once before, and that drop was by less than 1 percent.  This drop was almost 9 percent!!!!
 
 I suppose the eBay stock bulls will attribute this to eBay's outages earlier in the week.  If so, we should see a big jump by this time next week.
