The NY Times has an article on ecommerce with the following excerpt about Ebay.
"Looked at through this prism, Ebay also looks like a bloodbath. Faye Landes, who follows the online auction leader for Thomas Weisel Partners, estimates that revenues per user declined from $10.30 in the first quarter of 1998 to $6.80 for the second quarter of this year. Significantly, the decline resists cyclical upturns around Christmas, and has been a steady drum beat since early last year."
