thats like a slap on the wrist to that monster they made a bit more than that just with Skype

over 1.5 billion off of ebay, and around 500 million off of paypal

63 million is still a huge hit. and it will force them to remove a pretty serious market share that they have a tight grasp on. even for the real bags.

looks like my ebay fees are going to go up

About time to lower the playing fields. Now we should them to reinstate gun parts and acc. to help recop their losses...

Hmm, that's interesting. I understand that Australia's consumer protection agency is after them over their insistance that sellers there use PayPal. Good; maybe the evil(bay) empire is starting to crumble???

Ebay!

Wait till the Governments start making people pay taxes on every thing they sell on line, that will be the end of Ebay. I really thought the Ad here for the semi side plate on ebay the other day was especially ironic!

I'm with you, a phone call or a letter/list of parts numbers in the mail will beat the red tape bandits at their own game. I am hopeful though that the bill doesn't pass, promoting free trade & marketing. but the feds want that money to pay for whatever.
