He'll never surpass Amazon by trying to beat sellers into giving their stock away and with free listing no less. Sellers will continue to leave....and the sellers who take their place will be fewer and fewer. Perhaps Donahoe doesn't care about the future? Just grab whatever he can before it all caves? I don't really know - I just know that at this rate, ebay is doomed! They had something unique and now they want to fit into a retailer mold for cheap stuff and free shipping costs. They're looking for a faster turnover to grab that money even faster than a 7 day auction. Donahoe underestimates ebay's drawing power - nobody is going to work for him for nothing simply because its ebay! How stupidly immature. You would think for the millions of dollars Ebay can afford to pay a CEO they would have chosen one with some brainpower and business management skills. <BR/><BR/>I feel so bad for the sellers out there - the ones who believe they have to adjust their business model in order to survive - there IS no survival here - only how long a seller will last before he leaves in disgust or gets pushed out. Sellers must start diversifying - try other sites - build your own site and make sure you inform ALL your buyers where they can find you and WHY! Speak out or be doomed too.<BR/><BR/>www.ACEOart.netms.pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09605816120834631344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056474203732155833.post-12499642429803389182008-06-07T14:15:00.000-07:002008-06-07T14:15:00.000-07:00For the context of the "emerging market segment" c...For the context of the "emerging market segment" comments, this was written in reply to Henrietta's "Ivory Towers" blog post.<BR/><BR/>Kind Regards, KevinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
