Quote:Then we come to eBay's internal problems. Its market reputation has been suffering ever since it bought Paypal, frankly.
Aint that the truth and ebay brought that one on themselves after shoving PP logos down everyones throats back in early 2004. Now I see them back pedaling as the image of PP continues to decline in both the eyes of the buyers and sellers.
Quote:For evidence, we come to eBay's latest ad campaign. Without trying to critique the "It" ads, which assert that whatever "it" is they have "it," let me cut to the chase and ask, "why is this trip necessary?" Amazon doesn't advertise. Google doesn't advertise. You advertise in order to gain new customers, Why is it doing that if it has a "natural monopoly," as MarketWatch claimed just last month.
This is what I have often wondered as well. If all is so wonderful and the site is so RICH with buyers. Why spend unnecessary money to advertise?

Because if you read any of the boards you will see that people are complaining that traffic is down and "where are the buyers?" They have to advertise to get buyers there because traffic is going down and we all know it. I've seen the traffic go down over the past year and a half that i've been there big time, meanwhile the traffic on my website keeps going up each month. Its not hard to read the writing on the wall
