>>May be this could explain gossips that ebay's >>quarter is going to be huge.... What gossips? Wouldn't it be just as easy for me to make a post saying there were gossips that Ebay's quarter was going to be disappointing? If you think about it - there is a chance that Ebay lost a week's worth of revenue and profit from the free auction day - and the company has probably had to spend quite a bit of money this quarter on building it's server infrastructure and augmenting customer service due to outages. All of this could have a negative impact on net income. Notting Hill, it would be great if you could be more responsible with your posts - if you have heard gossips about a good quarter, state the source. Otherwise, you present yourself as one that is trying to pump up the stock price. Thanks, -Eric Wells
