Paul: Yes I know about ONSL's relationship with Softbank Japan and Yahoo and this is one of the reasons I bought the stock. As far as I know eBay has no such business relationship. As for profits,I think it is a non-issue at this stage of the game (particularly for the companies in the industry) and I hear one of the reasons for the loss was due to the cost associated with setting up Onsale Japan,in other words expansion cost and it could be construed as as an investment,no?
