I do not know the true value of Ebay. I do know ebay is becoming a brand name . EBAY = Auction. (as coke=soft drink) Mary Meeker said today,"Ebay is a winner". Wall Street listen to her. sadly, Longs or Shorts, they don't pay attention to these comments we make here.

Jim: The reason I didn't think eBay would split was because Yahoo didn't split. eBay will wait for Yahoo to split again before they'll split. Other than spending money to improve the stability and scalability of their auctions, I get the impression that eBay is not spending its money wisely. It seems like every time I turn around, I see innovation from Amazon. Example: Amazon already allows sellers to accept credit cards through Amazon. Amazon allows for a "Take It" price. Amazon allows sellers to offer a first bidder discount. Sure, eBay's auctions produce better results for sellers, but eBay shouldn't rest on its laurels. Because the Internet moves too quickly.... --Doug
