[Boatanchors] Ebay problems

[J Forster]

Hi,

I'm not so sure Amazon and eBay will merge. Amazon has a better operation for
selling stock goods....  vis eBay is trying to copy them.

As to competition, think Google. They already have most of the bits....
checkout and a (MUCH BETTER) search engine. eBay's is really brain damaged and
STUPID. It has no concept of what is relevant nd what is not.

FWIW,
-John
