Doug I think you will find these numbers interesting
Paypal eBay & *Amazon* Count ...
eBay - All Categories -> 1,289,213 Results
Amazon - All Categories ->32,783 Results

SOURCE: auctionwatch.com

Assuming "the virus" (Paypal) spread equally in both Amazon & ebay

4 Million(# eBay auctions)/1.289 (# eBay Paypal auctions) Million = 3.10

Take this 3.10 figure and multiply by the number of Paypal hosted Amazon auctions 32,783 to get a TOTAL OF ONLY
101,627 auctions by Amazon!

Based on these numbers I guess we know why Amazon is hiding it's auction count...
there aren't many auctions

Cheers,

Doug,

>Anybody want to place a wager???<

Why would anyone bet against someone that has been right about the fundamentals of EBAY 100% of the time so far? Very very good work on your part, now if only you could predict the stock price movement! So speaking of that what are your thoughts about the stock going forward from here? Thanks in advance!
