>>Why should eBAy be traded at a higher P/E (3-4 times) that of AOL or YHOO?< Because eBay is growing MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more quickly than those companies. And because eBay has a MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH higher gross profit than those companies. As far as AOL starting their own auction site: eBay and AOL recently signed a 4 year deal to feature eBay as the auction site on AOL. Everybody and their brother is trying to start an auction site. But NOBODY, NOBODY, NOBODY has made a dent in eBay's success. Yahoo has failed miserably at online auctions. Yahoo auctions are an absolute joke. Amazon, which is pushing their auctions like crazy to its 8 million members has about 3 percent as many auctions going on as eBay. NOBODY is going to beat eBay in online auctions, and that includes AOL, Yahoo, Amazon and Microsoft. NOBODY. The only way someone else will become the leader is if they buy eBay.
