eBay wasn't allowed to report the operating EPS for the quarter, which was .05, they had
to state the .02/share number to show the non-cash charges related to acquisition
expenses.


Charles,

What is not know is if this was a choice made by EBAY or they were forced. They should be forced but they could show better growth down the road this way since they are so new.

These accounting games are becomming irritating. There should be a standard such as GAAP which should be enforced. None of this "for informational purposes only."
