US Postal Service now says 1 in 20 packages sent between private individuals in this country is an eBay purchase. William, This is an amazing statistic. I would like to check the source however. Not that I have any reason to doubt internet.com. In fact, I am an indirect stockholder in internet.com via Penton Media. But who at USPS made this statement? And as Doug Fowler said over on the eBay thread, if I send you a package that you buy from me on eBay, the package gives no indication that the deal was done on eBay, so how does the Post Office have any idea of eBay's deal volume. They must be guessing, Doug opines, and I am inclined to agree. Sam
