15billion market cap--Wonder if anyone knows what that mean. It means that could I build a ebay for 15billion? Gee 2billion and i could blanket the world on advertising the site would be an instant sucess! give me 2 billion!

You're going to need a lot more than that to lure eBay's 'customers' away. We'll see what happens as competitors try.

It took General Motors about 80 years to reach a market capitalization of 25 billion dollars. Ebay's market cap is 15 billion in about a year. Hmmmm.... they must have a monopoly. They must have a product that no one else can duplicate. They must have incredible earnings. They don't?? Uh oh
