the beginning of the end for eBay?

I check eBay often to see what the market rate is for things I want to buy. Since they have hiked their selling fees in April (or was it May?), the volume of auctions has dropped off considerably.

I checked to see if it would be a good stock to short. Everyone else already had the same idea.

Because of the reduced volume of auctions, eBay is a seller's world. I can't find anything worth buying, but I just sold a $50 gift card for $50.01.

Off topic but wondering - are you following the Tour de France this year?
It turns into an annual time sink for me. The tv coverage is great. Maybe the very best thing the Versus channel does.
Yes - I should be riding, not watching.

I'm keeping up with it on the web but I don't have cable at home. The bike shops are showing footage, but I have to work during that time. Best I can do.
