eBay will have a challenge going into the summer, when many people would rather be outside, vacationing, etc.

I don't understand why you feel we are hitting a wall.
According to Doug's figures:
Jan = 20% gain (everybody selling Christmas presents)
March = 4.5% gain!
April = 8.96% gain
May = 8.9% gain
June = 6.25% gain so far.

We need to hit 2,425M to make June a 8.9% month and we already have 2,367M. Things look to be on schedule.

Add to this the fact that we had the outage during June and things look pretty good.

Doug has a point about a mild summer slow down. There will be fewer people active. the web, however, will continue to grow and might offset this.
