Why would, say, 5 for 1 be better than 3 for 1? In any scenario, you still would own the same dollar amount of the stock and the same % of total market value. Yes, I know, shares (somehow) would be more attractive at a lower price, but that argument holds less water than in the past.

If your fantasy of a stock split announcement tomorrow really comes true, I must congratulate the insiders on keeping the secret so well. I would imagine that if the company were to take the (unprecedented?) step of splitting a stock 3 months on the heels of the previous split, the stock would already have been on its way up by now. However, from the recent stock performance, some might say the dominant factors influencing buyers and sellers are Ebay's relatively stagnant auction count; the possibility that secondary IPO financing will not work; the growth of competing Inet auctioneers; and the prevailing market conditions. It is possible that buyers and sellers view these indicators as signaling a downward direction for the stock price in the short and long term. And, while it is possible that the company may generate a press release or two, it appears that this tactic no longer produces knee-jerk buying. Also, some might speculate that in the event the stock slides further, the $150 support level may prove to be even weaker than the former $170 support level was.
