none of this should be up for discussion, as ebay should be going through the roof. But for some reason they are heading for the floor.

A lot of what i hear from people outside of the ebay world, is showing ebay as too unsafe a place to shop. They can buy the items cheaper in other places, more often than not off line, and with the ease of taking them back if they go wrong. In the last seven year I have never heard that happen before I even heard one lady telling her friend she uses ebay like old people would use catalogues in the past to see if what they wanted existed, then go to the shop to buy it. All these things being discussed surprisingly were new products, which ebay see as their future, which has to be a bad sign.
