I just bought something from EBay and I was quite happy. So I went back and searched for more, guess what? The search function didn't work, I got some kind of Netscape network error, but I could still click on other links such as antiques...

In general, EBay as a stock isn't a very good investment in the short term. In the long run, it's harder to predict than those obvious ones such as Yahoo or AOL. It's even riskier if their site is poorly maintained. The common denominator of internet is your customer can go to your competitors by typing one line: http://www....

Right now the barrier of entry for EBay is just too low. Everyone has an auction site now: DELL, AMZN, YHOO to name a few. What does EBay have others don't?
