Why is it when talking about the internet, Americans think that auction companies, bookstores, or any etailers can't be replicated in international nations? Is the assumption that the Europeans and Asians are retarded? When it comes to light that the Europeans and Asians can actually sell books or establish auction houses (which they have already), this stock will drop. <<Second, eBay is growing MUCH, MUCH faster than the Internet.>> Yeah, because it's not an established company; its revenues can grow fast because it itself is not mature -- check out the absolute numbers.
