Hmmm...

He calls eBay an ecosystem.

Hmmm...

Are you stalking him?

The whole things sounds nice the way he pitches it, and perhaps it is.
But I drive a stick, and write my own shell scripts, so I guess I like
doing things myself.

"Are you stalking him?"

He's not my kind.... ;-)

I think a lot of the changes at eBay have taken place since the new CEO
took over and brought in HIS teams of MBAs and consultants.

It looks like they want to change the face of eBay to resemble the TV home
shopping channels. They don't see the value of having a source for arcane
and hard to find items of all sorts.

"Dis is vat VE tink you VILL buy!"

Oh well, it's an opportunity for the next people who want to set up an
eBay like service.

There is a site which has used cars in Germany www.mobile.de which
used to be about the best web-site I'd ever seen. A few years ago they
were bought by eBay and they have been slowly ruining it. Strange.

But all too common. But another company that's making money, then
change it the products all around so they stop making money.
Eventually shut it down because obviously it's a loser.

(Sometimes the above is a formal plan to remove a competitor, most of
the time the buyer just plain screws it up).
