EBAY Split I looked at EBAY's 10Q. Here is what I found for a possible split: Common Stock, $0.001 par value, 195,000 and 60,000 shares.....................authorized; 40,264 and 20,400 shares issued and outstanding EBAY currently has ~ 40.3 MM shares right now. It appears they have 195 MM authorized. So they could do a 2-for-1, 3-for-1, or a 4-for-1 split without authorizing more shares. My guess is a 3-for-1.

Therefore, I am using the average auction count of 12 weeks and 14 weeks ago for my basis of 13 weeks ago. Also, based on my observations, only a small percentage of auctions are using the 14 day format. Seemed to be popular around Christmas, but most sellers are now avoiding them.
