This is a great article although I wish it went into a bit more depth. One of the things that I have noticed about eBay in the past couple of years is that I just don't go there anymore. I mean, I used to hit it a couple of times a week looking for all kids of stuff. Now, it just doesn't occur to me to look at eBay when I need something. It doesn't even come up in conversation with my Mom like it used to.<p>I think eBay might be going the way of Geocities. Farewell.
That's the first time I've ever seen a grammar mistake on NY Times ("and make eBay can be an important player"). Also strange how an article on Meg Whitman's role at eBay led to a critique of PayPal's business plan based on the writer's obvious bias.
