>If the number of registered users starts dropping for whatever reason Europe should make up for USA users dropping off. Everything I read says in a few years European e-retailing will far exceed the USA. >they still need to figure a way to sell an item above it's cost price .... I agree. The only way I think that could happen is the shopper might pay a premium for the convenience. I know I would, just to avoid getting pushed around by the mob in a mall. Btw I will never take my favorite car to any mall. There's just too many inconsiderate shoppers slamming their car doors into other peoples cars!

Right now Amazon will benefit with the demise of likes of etoys. Murali, Help me before I post again. It is a proven fact that the elimination of a competitor does almost nothing to help the revenue and bottom line of those remaining standing. The cause of the elimination is the lack of revenue with decent margins. By definition, there is nothing to be gained by those left standing. There is the other issue that Amazon does not sell toys. Toys R Us sells Toys and Amazon handles content and distribution. Glenn
