So....seriously...is ebay going bye-bye?

Ummm.....no.

ebay going under is like GM going.....no...ummm, like Chrysler going under....no....ummm.

Let's start again.

ebay going under ain't gonna happen for many moons. It's still making oodles of money on those really cheap hdmi cables I mentioned a while ago. It has like 20 MILLION listings and people are still selling on there.

But of those still selling, the ultra-mega-super sellers are making a fortune. The little guys aren't (for the most part).

Remember, though, that the auction model (I think at least as far as ebay thinks) is dead. People don't want to wait 7 days to win something, only to have someone snipe in the last 2 seconds (which by the way was THE MOST FUN you could have on ebay in the first place!).

Personally, I disagree. The auction format is alive and well (there are about 40 live local auctions going on this Saturday ALONE just within 30 miles of my house).

But it took ebay years to become known. Other sites will take even longer, since they have two battles:

1. Getting their name known/reputation established
2. Fighting the current "I hate getting stuff on ebay" mentality.

So...who's in the running?

See my next post.
