eBay will OWN the auctions market for YEARS to come.

As one who sells software on eBay, I can tell you I have tried on many other sites, including the free ones like Yahoo, and the not free ones like Auction Universe.

Nobody else comes to being even 1/10th as effective as eBay.

eBay doesn't need to lower its prices. In fact, they raised some of them less than a month ago, by changing the price of a featured auction from $50 to $100.

And you know what? The featured auctions are as popular as ever.

Sellers want lots of traffic and they want buyers, and the place to go if you are a seller is eBay.

And it is also the place to go if you are a buyer.

Sure, I wish eBay stock were a lot cheaper, but I believe eBay has the opportunity to become the most successful company on Earth. And it could get there within 10 years (if it is not bought out before then).

YES. That is what I said.
