Ray, the anecdotal evidence from EBAY is interesting. I wish we had something to compare it against from 2 years ago.

Slightly off-topic, but the EBAY CEO just Friday called her business "recession proof".

public.wsj.com

Certainly seems like an unassailable business model, given their virtual lock on that market.

My wife buys and sells there all the time. EBAY holds no inventory and just collects fees. Basically, they have zero risk that I can figure out.

I recently used them to sell lots of old computer stuff that I had lying around collecting dust. Some old motherboards, ISA cards, memory, etc. Got about $250 for those odds and ends. And sold every item.

Not an endorsement for EBAY stock (but maybe it should be), just some off-topic banter.
