<<I think it has to do with carrying rapidly depreciating inventory>> Do you really think that lack of risk justify the ridiculous price to sales multiple that EBAY gets? Remember, EBAY is now facing competition from Yahoo. Yahoo will offer the same service without the listing fee. It seems to me that EBAY has far more risk than does ONSL, at least as far as the possibility of disappointing the analysts. <<I believe the buyer has time to evaluate the merchandise; therefore, it is not to the seller's advantage to misrepresent their product since they will be responsible for the shipping if it wasn't acceptable. >> EBAY offers a third-party escrow service, but you have to pay an extra fee to use it. Without that service, it's buyer beware. There is no cooling off period, no time to evaluate the merchandise. ONSL stands behind their sales - EBAY specifically disclaims any responsibility for truth in advertising.
