    EBAY stock tanked yesterday

    It went down 18 Points and today it's up about 3 points. I believe in Ebays model, but there might be a slow down in the future in profits.

    Should I buy more, hold or dump what I currently have?

      I'd be cautious.. a lot of big sellers are pissed at eBay for raising fees..

                              a lot of eBay's revenue comes from simply giving stock options to their employees not from their auction operations.

                                      well in 5 years when someone has a brand name and model half the size of ebay, then I may consider the competition, until such time ebay is king and has the last say.

                                          If eBay isn't too careful they might raise the prices enough to open competition to other auction sites, I saw a number of sites issue press releases in the hours after the price annoucement like it was a ticker tape parade.

                                          I forgot the article, but one store owner said he was selling $3K a month on eBay and after the price increase, he's gone for good.

                                              Do keep in mind that Ebay owns Paypal. Between insertion fees, ebays cut, paypals cut. The average seller loses a nice little chunk of cash. I have a brand new 20gb Ipod sitting on my desk that I don't even feel like putting on ebay because of that shit.

                                                  I am not sure where they will go at the moment. The options are limited and the store owner is still making money.

                                                      To think Ebay started because his GF collected "Pez" candy dispensers.

                                                          ebay's revenue has increased by 30-40% every year and this is only the 2nd time they haven't met forcasted expectations (off by a penny)
                                                          their current projections have them doing 1b+ every quarter of 2005 , analysts are somewhat weary due to the fee increase and about 100m of their 2004 revenue being somewhat off due to exchange rates

                                                              Its going to be intersting. We will see if they care about the sellers that help grow their community or just their bottom line.

                                                                              The answer to that should be very obvious to you. The answer to if it will have an adverse effect on future profits only time will tell.

                                                                              However you look at it now Ebay fees are getting far too high to make selling via it viable for many people. It'll be interesting to see the next earnings statement to see if many have simply stopped or moved elsewhere.
