I don't think this is necessarily good. This perception that EBAY will enter the B2B market...just something more investors are going to be disapointed w/ if EBAY doesn't follow thru w/ this. In addition, if EBAY is JUST entering this market. Then they are late. They do have plenty of registered users, but I'm not sure how their users will translate into B2B. While many Ebay users are small businesses, many are also merely consumers. However, if this is true, EBAY will probably still ramp. >>>Holy cow Nelson--you may have just hit the nail on the head. Check out the article on Ebay in Monday's (Jan. 24) Investors Business Daily, page A6. It strongly suggests that Ebay has been quietly making ready to enter the U.S. B2B market. Trading Monday could get REAL interesting!<<<
