A big reason is the size of the respective floats...UBID and EBAY have a smaller float than ONSL....I also believe the MM's are playing with it somewhat...for what reason I don't know...my suspicion is they want to get more shares at a lower price for future trading....but thats just a guess.......

Yeah, UBID has 1.5 million shares which float, or in laymen's terms, are free to trade. The smaller the float the more volatile the price moves. All a function of supply/demand.
