I don't think that was his point, but since we have been over this many times in the past few months, it did amount to wasted space.

We've been over this before. BIDS sells the products directly to consumers. EBay has a different business model: it sells items, in effect, on commission, so it reports the commission. It never takes possession of the goods, legal or physical. Naturally it will report revenues not based on the value of the goods transacted through its site. This is correct. So tell me, please, why does everyone on this thread want to compare Bid.Com to Ebay when the two are clearly completely different setups?
