"Well, Jay was so giddy that someone named Jay was involved with this site we posted our first non-eBay listing in 3 years here at Lunarbid (we tried two items at Yahoo once upon a time, they bombed)" -Marie posting in a LunarBid thread at OTWA in 2005 wins the award for 'most moronic reason ever given for choosing a venue"

"thanks twat u must have nothing better 2 do. do u talk to all your members like that. will not be recomending your site.
best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011

Earnings release day wouldn't be complete without Meg thanking the community with the same copy and paste message she's used for the past 26 years [eBay was too around in 1980!!!--I can show you a member profile to prove it  Laughing7 ]

Quote:Today, we announced eBay's financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2006. I'm happy to report that the company delivered excellent results in Q1.

The success eBay enjoyed this quarter is a direct result of our Community of members. Your passion and loyalty have helped us build a thriving marketplace that continues to grow quarter after quarter.

We look forward to working together for even greater success throughout the year.

Thank you,
Meg

Press coverage of eBay's earnings:

Bloomberg: EBay Shares May Drop After Forecasts Fall Short of Estimates
Quote:EBay Inc. shares may fall today after the world's largest auctioneer gave a disappointing outlook for this year, signaling growth may be slowing.

The San Jose, California-based company forecast annual sales of up to $5.9 billion, below the $5.96 billion estimated by analysts. It said profit for 2006 may be 7 cents less than Wall Street expectations...

Chief Executive Officer Meg Whitman said on a conference call new rivals in South Korea may slow EBay's revenue growth in that country. [Signficant because Korea, not China, is eBay's largest revenue source in Asia] Profit may be crimped by extra spending on steps to enhance online security. Competition is growing from Google Inc. and Amazon.com Inc., which are winning business from merchants and developing services that may sap Ebay's revenue...

Financial Times: Ebay data fail to dispel growth concerns
Quote:Ebay’s latest quarterly results on Wednesday failed to dispel concerns that growth in its core online auctions business is decelerating...

During the latest quarter, growth in the company’s auction business was hampered in part by a switch to a new way of displaying listings from its stores service, which lets sellers list higher volumes of products at lower cost. A decision halfway through the quarter to display stores listings when buyers search for products on eBay had not gone down well in the US, said Bob Swan, chief financial officer. Many buyers had felt overwhelmed by the number of items and left eBay rather than bid, he added.

As a result, eBay’s gross merchandise volume – the total value of goods traded through its sites – had risen by only 18 per cent in the period,...

Business Week: eBay's Diminished Expectations
Quote:
... Indeed, some sellers have reported for some time that their profit margins on eBay are eroding. That's one factor that has prompted some of them to move some of their inventory to other marketplaces, such as Amazon.com , Overstock.com , and Google Base.

"There are a lot of signs pointing to a slowdown in business activity within eBay's marketplaces," says Derek Brown, an analyst with Pacific Growth Equities, who has a sell rating on the stock...

What's more, search giant Google is coming on strong. Its free Google Base listings service, coupled with a new payment system, threatens to undercut eBay by offering merchants a cheaper venue on which to sell. "They're definitely seeing more competitive threats," says Rodrigo Sales, CEO of Vendio Services, which helps merchants sell online at venues such as eBay....
