We found this post on the public Yahoo! Finance boards about how much
ebaY is really making. This appeared to be in line with what some
financial experts have been saying, and was written in a way that we
were able to understand. Title was "Stock Option Expense" by:
ebaypowersellergold (38/M) 03/13/02 12:53 pm
Msg: 193809 of 194094

"Here's a summary of stock option expense (from eBay's own 10-K):
Income for year + Stock Option Expense = NET
1996: $3,338 + ($0) = $3,338
1997: $7,061 + ($0) = $7,061
1998: $7,273 + ($776) = $6,497
1999: $9,567 + ($50,924) = ($41,357)
2000: $48,294 + ($138,971) = ($90,677)
(notice a trend? What will 2001 be?)
TOTAL for 5 years, including stock option expense (Black-Scholes model)
is:
Drum roll please....
MINUS $115,138,000
Pretty impressive, huh?
That's what they'll be restating earnings as when the new laws finally
get passed...
In addition to the $190,671,000 in stock option expenses, it's worthy to
note that another $62,176,000 of "income" comes from interest on the
cash they hold. I really think they should "ignore" that in their "pro
forma" numbers. After all, it has nothing to do with the operation of
the site. So, they reported a total of $75,533 (GAAP) earnings 1995
through 2000 (note that 82% of that is from the interest) Take out the
options and interest on cash, and you get a "real" pro-forma earnings
number of MINUS $177,314,000 (or -62c/share) Not unusual for the
average tech company (LOL), except eBay's number gets a lot more
negative each year (rather than moving in the other direction). So much
for the longs using "forward P/E's" to try and justify the current
price, once the new options accounting rules are written. The number
will certainly go down even more after the 2001 10-K is released. It was
no doubt a record "stock option" year. LOL. "

ebaY - On 14 Mar at 13:23:14 PT ebaY reported that users were reporting
"difficulty accessing certain static pages, including the eBay Home
Page. " Users were reporting more widespread problems, and were unable
to access search unless they already had a link saved. At 13:40:00 PT
Sonny@ebaY posted that they were aware of and working on the problems.
Users reported that by 13:40:31 PT the site map, My ebaY pages and
search functions were not working. At 14:36:36 PT ebaY posted some
workaround links, and also said the ebaY main page was down. At
14:36:56 PT users reported widespread access problems with getting to
any ebaY pages including the chat boards. Some users could not connect
to the site at all. At 14:39:06 PT ebaY again posted that they were
still having problems, and again provided some limited workarounds. At
14:47:36 PT ebaY posted that static pages were down from 13:10 PT to
14:40 PT, but workarounds were available. Unfortunately, few people ever
saw these workarounds or understood them, so for all intents and
purposes the site was completely down.

A CNET article said "eBay said the site was "intermittently unavailable"
between 1:10 p.m. and 2:40 p.m. PT, according to a note posted on the
site. Performance management company Keynote Systems said eBay's front
door began to stall at 1 p.m. PT, with only 8 percent of the log-on
attempts succeeding."
http://investor.cnet.com/investor/news/newsitem/0-9900-1028-9093420-0.html?tag=ats

The article said ebaY last major crash was more than a year ago, but
ebaY had a 26 minute crash on 25 Feb 02 which is a major crash for the
approximate 14,000 auctions ending during that time. The article also
said, "This year, eBay is in the process of one of its most significant
technological upgrades, installing eBay's "V3" next-generation shopping
technology, which will include real-time updates for eBay's data
warehouse and minute-by-minute updates for listings, currently updated
once per hour." TAG shudders at the thought of a major ebaY upgrade.

At 16:36 PT users reported via email that they were once again receiving
error messages whilst trying to access ebaY. At 17:28:59 PT, users
reported listing not showing up in the search lists.

On 15 Mar at 13:05 Canadians buyers, were not able to use BIN's or
checkout because when they got to the update address portion there was
no place to input Provinces so they couldn't complete their purchases.
A thread on the problem is at -
http://forums.ebay.com/dws?128@146.5SMWbDRMOkG^-@.ef342db
At 15:58:59 PT users with the Netscape browser could not access the ebaY
home page.

On 16 Mar at 09:08:44 PT ebaY announced that since moving the Aircraft
and Watercraft categories on Friday, from ebaY.com to ebaY Motors,
searching for these items on the main ebaY site returns an error page.
This is not intentional; all ebaY Motors items should appear in searches
on the main site. This affected items listed prior to Friday; new items
were unaffected. Users had to use search from the ebaY Motors home
page. At 18:42 users reported the help/chat boards on ebaY were down.
Users reported the ebaY threaded boards down at 18:42. At 18:57:59 PT
ebaY posted that the threaded Discussion & Help Boards, were down. At
23:48:19 PT ebaY posted that they had restored access to the threaded
boards.

On 17 Mar users reported at 08:49:29 PT that the site was downloading
pages very slowly and that search was not working properly.

On 18 Mar at 13:32:49 PT users reported images and icons not downloading
on ebaY pages. The site was very slow, and pages were timing out before
downloading.   At 13:40:49 PT ebaY posted that users were having
problems with slowness especially when downloading images. At 14:25
users were reporting inability access pages, open item pages and bid.
Pages were timing out as ebaY logos and images were not downloading and
causing pages to hang. All site access was negatively affected by the
problems. At 16:25:24 PT ebaY reported that, "We are experiencing
intermittent site slowness. Some users may have difficulty viewing
graphics and images, such as those on the eBay Home Page. We are
investigating the cause of this issue and will correct it as soon as
possible." getting closer to the truth of the universal site problems.
At 17:35:49 PT ebaY removed the previous posts from the SAB and posted
that, " Earlier, some users may have experienced intermittent slowness
viewing eBay graphics and images. We have identified the cause of the
issue and corrected it." completely whitewashing what was a 4 hour
outage where buyers could not search or bid because pages would not
download. TAG sees this as an effort by ebaY to lie about this outage
so they don't have to provide refunds and auction extensions in
accordance with their outage policy. The "some users" affected was
everyone who was trying to access ebaY during the 4 hours it was not
working.

Users continue to complain about the missing 'new' item icon.
Complaints continue to abound about the problem with search, where
clicking back on a item takes you to the top of the search result page
rather than back to your point of departure.

TO REQUEST REFUNDS from ebaY go to

---------
Pink Quote Of the Day, on 17 Mar 02, in emails dealing with a deadbeat
bidder, ebaY said to the deadbeat, "Thank you for writing in to us upon
receiving a non-payment notice email from eBay for this auction. I
understand how this can be a frustrating experience and I will be happy
to assist you. Normally we require proof of payment or email evidence to
be provided before we will grant a non-payment appeal. However, since
this is your first appeal, the bidding infraction for this item has been
removed from your record without any further inconvenience to you.
........... In the future we would suggest that you retract your
previous bid if you are outbid and choose to bid on another auction
before the previous auction is over to avoid last minuet wins due to
others bid retractions." And to the outraged seller ebaY said, " There
are certain circumstances in which we will remove a warning from a
buyer's record. These range from family emergencies to indisputable
proof of payment being provided. Each occurrence is reviewed objectively
on a case-by-case basis. Due to privacy reasons, we cannot share the
nature of the bidder's appeal or why it was accepted or denied. You have
received your credit and you have the right to post whatever you feel is
appropriate feedback." TAG is starting to think ebaY has completely
lost it. Between paying for deadbeat bids, and now excusing deadbeats
without any reason to excuse them, and advising the deadbeat to retract
bids without justification, this is almost beyond belief, even for ebaY.
This is a thread to read, though take your blood pressure medicine
first. http://forums.ebay.com/dwc?128@53.Nf5WcmuyZPE^-@.ef16e83

ebaY Transportation.Com ? A TAG subscriber came across this domain,
registered in Jan by ebaY. Now ebaY has recently moved Boats and
Aircraft to ebaY Motors, was that the first step in a NEW ebaY site,
soon to be Transportation? Is ebaY's contract with Autotrader.com
expiring? ebaY has practically destroyed the person to person
automotive exchange on their site with their big business contracts, are
they now going to make deals with Wellcraft, Baja, Mercury, Ratheon,
Piper, Cessna, Narco, Lycoming, etc. and destroy the businesses of
person to person boat and aircraft sellers? If you are a seller in the
boat or aircraft field, now might be a good time to explore other
channels, before ebaY destroys your online business. Some well thought
out and expressed posts in this thread -
http://forums.ebay.com/dwb?50@147.DDRVbqZz6bu^-@.eee39ed/3

ebaY has returned completed search to 15 days. We are all still waiting
for the promised return to 30 days - the promise ebaY made approx three
years ago, when they temporarily reduced completed search to ease site
problems.

SAN JOSE, Calif. & SHANGHAI, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ebaY said on 17
Mar they will pay US$30 million in cash for a 33 percent stake in
Shanghai-based trading site EachNet as they attempt a foray into the
mainland China market. Founded in 1999, EachNet claims 3.5 million
registered users.

On another tip from a TAG subscriber, ebaY has removed the NARU
designation from Feedback files. Are they trying to prevent TAG and
others from researching the percent NARU on their site. Fortunately we
have completed enough research to have a pretty good idea of the %NARU
on ebaY, in addition to having found another method to get at this
information. TAG wonders if this change amounts to an admission by ebaY
that they DO count NARU in their allegedly "confirmed" registered user
number of 42.2 mil.

with these auctions, and hundreds of buyers who sent money but received
no merchandise. To join with others to attempt resolution of this
problem go to http://www.spankoz.net/ebay_auctions.htm

And on the lighter side, our Board Poster Quote of the Day on the
subject of SPAM received by ebaY users, theomatic said on 14 Mar
05:07:46 PT, "hmmmm, just emptied my junk mail box. It occurred to me
that these spammers must have access to a database somewhere indicating
that the average eBayer profile reads "Males between the age of 30 to
45, horrifically obese and underendowed, average credit card debt of
$6854.00 at 22.6%, require chemical intervention to perform sexually, in
need of supplementary income, possesses an insatiable appetite for
pornographic materials, and carries (at least one) 40 year mortgage at
an average rate of 13.665% interest"

Ongoing Issues and Information
----------------------------------------------------------------
Break the ebaY monopoly!   Provide ebaY the incentive it
obviously needs to provide better service to its users, and to its
customers, the sellers. Sellers need to develop other
marketplaces so they can insure they have an online
marketplace for their goods into the future. TAG has an editorial
on the website titled 'ebaY- a solution NOW'.
http://www.auctionguild.com/generic.html?pid=78

If users want those icons returned they need to email ebaY about them
and let ebaY know, and it would also not hurt to post dissatisfaction
about the search changes on the petition to change search back to a
useable format at -
http://forums.ebay.com/dws?50@111.k5qFaUN76KN^-@.eee35ba

TAG recommends that IF you are going to list on ebaY, do NOT
use Billpoint, ebaY pic services, Checkout, or ANY ebaY provided
service beyond the most basic ones. None of ebaY's services
are reliable, and the feature and site reliability continues to be
problematical.

should not have a Billpoint account can be found on the TAG

TAG no longer reports ebaY numbers because we don't believe ebaY is
providing accurate numbers in their categories anymore. Recent changes
in the search engine have drastically inflated the numbers and the
number of items listed in a category no longer matches the actual search
result. ebaY is trying to hide the fact that their listing numbers have
been virtually flat since Oct 2000, though the alleged numbers of
registered users on the site has increased by huge multiples.

Yahoo Auction/Warehouse/Classifieds (YA) - On 15 Mar at 12:33 PT, users
emailed TAG that the when accessing the sold items page, the page would
open, but the list of items was not there. Instead the seller would get
a message that said, "there is a problem accessing the data. Please try
again in a few minutes". The My Auctions home was blank, and gives the
message "internal error, please try again later". This is one more in
the continuing series of intermittent problems with seller's lists,
unacknowledged by YA, and with no permanent fix in place as far as
anyone knows.

On 16 Mar at 04:26 PT Amazon posted that the "Used Price" link was once
again showing on the detail pages of books, music, video and DVD.

On 18 Mar at 04:02 PT Amazon Announced a maintenance lasting several
days that will cause zShops listings set to also appear as Marketplace
listings to not be purchasable through zShops and will not display in
Storefronts. Buyers will be able to purchase these items through
Marketplace only. New and existing listings affected by this, will
appear normally when maintenance is complete. Closed and Open listing
information will be unavailable from the Seller Account, but
listing/fulfillment reports and Payments Seller Account information will
