Nelson:

I agree with you regarding the acquisitions, at least the "land-based" ones, as eBay refers to them.

I didn't hear anything in the conference call about how Butterfield and Butterfield is strategic to the core business of eBay. All I gathered was that they were old-style business with very slow growth.

I would have liked to hear what eBay is doing to make these land-based acquisitions pay off for their core business.

I do like the potential of their Billpoint acquisition so far. That could turn out to be very smart for eBay.
