Doug, if you gathered data on visits to ebay's web site in the past (which I'm sure you have because the pageviews per month is listed right below the auction items on ebay), you would see a pretty close direct correlation between revenue growth and pageview growth. Now, the number of visits to ebay increased by 12% this quarter compared to last, No way revenue can grow 60%. Listing fee is cheap, as low as 25 cents per listing. That's not gonna help revenue much. Come to think of it, since there's a large increase in the number of listings, but only a 12% increase in visits, I wonder if the 12% increase is not due almost entirely to visits by sellers? No buyers, no commissions! Regards, Tom
