it's amazing how much of their revenue come from simply issuing stock options to their employees.

dunno man. people have been calling for the demise of ebay for a few years now. TheStreet used to hammer this stock. but the shareholders keep approving this practice of issuing tons of options. so much of their revenue comes from this. at least it used to. then again, how many of ebay's shareholders know how to read a 10Q. how many of them have heard of a 10Q. maybe i'm underestimating the shareholder base. i wouldn't hold this piece of shit, though.

By what standard? Revenue? Number of employees? Market cap?

you're going to need a lot of money to implement it and market it whatever it is. ebay has really cornered this market.

They dont do anything, have a trillion users, make a fortune, and competition has a huge hill to climb because everyone wants to use the biggest auction house so their shit gets seen by the most people.


It has a better nut-hold on the market than any other company you listed.

I agree... but the low-six-figure money required is nothing compared to the revenue potential for that industry (see thread topic).

All it proves is that the information market place is huge and the thirst to acquire things and information is far from dry.

both yahoo and amazon tried to compete and failed. there's only room for one big exchange like this in my opinion. they have not only hit critical mass of sellers/buyers, but the name eBay is part of the lexicon now like Google. Joe six pack now uses the word 'ebay' as a verb. "i'll ebay it". that's really powerful. same with google.

unless you're going to go after a targeted niche, i don't think anyone is going to unseat ebay for a while at least.
