eBay stock market quarterly reports

The stock market quarterly report is all about image branding and perceived value. Having Wall Mart and Toys R Us selling on eBay is good for their stock price. There ARE sellers who sell retail CD's, DVD's and Toys and compete with big box retailers. Also, eBay does not want pages filled with merchandise that competes with the big box retailers. John Donahoe has shown he regrets having to have ANY small to mid-size sellers selling on eBay. He'd prefer they ALL go away. But eBay needs the monthly fee revenue and the % of sales and % of shipping for their balance sheet / quarterly reports. eBay's internal policy, which employees have revealed is a revolving door / turnstyle type methodology. Rely on our bad economy ( which eBay's criminal activities contribute to ) to insire new consumers to come on to eBay and attempt to sell. eBay relies on monthly sellers fees ( which are often more expensive then a brick & mortar store ) and their extortive % of our shipping fees to drive in revenue. eBay relies on new sellers coming through their door, to increase listings ( for Wall St. ) and drive in listing fees before these new sellers hit their learning curve, understand that they are being ripped off and voluntarily leave eBay. And if these new sellers don't leave, eBay eventually purges them via the Donahoe Virus. eBay wants fresh blood. Fresh meat and fresh fees. They encourage new sellers to post by presenting fraudulent seller sales limits that can not be reached in order to increase fees. Sellers post up thousands of items that pass and eBay makes money from those postings regardless.
James Lancer eBay has Walmart and Toy's R Us etc. And that is just scratching the surface. eBay only needs a few big box retailers to inspire stock holders to hold and not dump their stock each quarter. eBay would rip our hearts out for the Walmart relationship alone
