Motley Fools love EBAY ... no wonder they subscribe to the greater fool theory ...

$20 billion market crap. Assume 2X sales when industry matures. So an annual sale of $10 billion for EBAY. Assume 5% commission, so gross auctions of $200 billion. Does anyone really believe internet auctions will reach this level. Perhaps retailers like Amazon will do some $10-20 billion in the future, but online auctioneers???? The market is currently valuing EBAY as doing tens to hundreds of billion annual auctions business.

Walmart, incidentally has sales of $130 billion last year
