Just read the same article in the doctor waiting room. Think it was current Time or Business Week? Same number about 75 million active users. Wonder what the breakdown is of people who just buy and people who just sell? Regardless, those are still impressive numbers, but with all the people the piss off, there active users will drop, forcing fees even higher. There business model is in trouble, has stagnant in the last few years as the ebay "phenomenon" has worn off, and corporate greed, scams and negative publicity has taken hold.
The time has never been better for a competitor to make a move. Ecrater.com is starting to gather some impressive number. Not a true auction, but sales are sales.
