Doug, they have a long long way to go as far as preventing frauds and illegal transactions. This is what the company has to say: Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the Company's need to manage significant growth in all aspects of its business, the increasingly competitive environment for online trading, including the effect of the recent entry of competitors which have significantly greater financial and marketing resources and, notwithstanding the Company's trust and safety efforts, the potential adverse effects of having illegal, fraudulent or infringing items sold by eBay users. In this context, the Company is having discussions with certain content owners who believe that the Company's efforts to eliminate infringing items on its site are inadequate and must be improved.
