eBay Projects FLAT Revenues Once Split From PayPal
 

eBay has released projections showing it expects revenues to be FLAT once the split from PayPal is final. As you may know, PayPal has been driving all of the revenue growth in the past few years for eBay.

This may turn out to be good, or possibly bad for sellers. It would be bad if eBay's answer is to just continually raise their fees. However, it COULD be GOOD, as eBay may not be so quick to throw sellers to the curb. Of course, that does not mean that sellers will be able to get away with murder, or anything, but they may start to value the smaller sellers a bit more than they have in the past.

One thing that eBay's CORE BUYERS want is unique products, and those are NOT being supplied by the large mega-sellers.

I don't, offhand, but just search for eBay on google news. There are a million articles about it.
