Opinion on  eBay Inc (EBAY)     Sector: Services  >  Industry: Retail (Specialty)
Bearish on EBAY ...

Feb 01, 2008 08:26 PM UTC

Ebay Shmebay! They only tag on a charge of about US$0.13 on every smelly odd slipper sold by some obsessed internet geek. Eventually consumers will realise that the costs of accessing ebay far outweigh the potential benefits, and fraud and misleading are rife. SELL.
Good Luck,
~~~~Shane Halloran.

(By the way, its P/E is twice Google's, and that's high!)
