<< Brian, how can revenue grows by 60% sequentially when visits to ebay web site only increased 12% this quarter compared to late last quarter? You tell me. >> Tom: Active auctions growing 60% sequentially --> completed auctions growing 60% sequentially --> 60% commission growth for eBay. I wonder if greater traffic (and more repeat buyers/sellers) could cause percentage of auctions resulting in a sale to rise? Probably best to wait for the quarterly numbers to come out to determine who is closer to eBay's current reality. Brian
