THey are the market leader so they have us under their control

Their torrid growth is slowing and the skype acquisition is complicating their strategy. Paypal is under attack from Google and they are hopelessly cut out of the world's second largest auction market, Japan. It was a good ride while it lasted. Now they either regroup and dominate in three markets or they slowly become takeover fodder for yahoo, microsoft, or google.

I can't say it is going to make much difference to me. Ebay makes an awful venue for selling domain names in my opinion. I do their go once in a while, but if I never did again it would not be a life threatening situation.

Ebay, is involved in a life or death struggle in China with Alibaba. If they loose that their chances of extending their dominance beyond English speaking markets is all but blown. Their problem is though, powerful competitors from Japan, China and Russia may one day turn up and crush them in their home market. Its all about Opportunities and Threats. The latter being much more apparent in this case. However, putting up prices can only bring forward their demise.
