ebaY's stock price continues its steady decline, after posting a
disappointing first quarter earnings report. Listing numbers are way
down, and Meg Whitman has committed to stockholders that she will suck
more blood from sellers to increase profitability (look out - TAG thinks
increased fees for stores and store inclusion in search are coming).
The Supreme Court is poised to rule on MercExchange's ability to place
an injunction on ebaY to stop ebaY's theft of MercExchange's patent (a
charge on which ebaY has been convicted, and has used up all appeals).
If the SC rules in MercExchange's favor, BIN will end - and one third of
ebaY's sales will disappear from the site, and/or ebaY will have to pay
up for all their years of patent theft. TAG predicts that MercExchange
will then take ebaY back to court and sue them on their violation of
MercExchange's auction patent.

So, if you haven't expanded your selling to VOTE sites (venues other
than ebaY) and you still don't have a website to sell your wares, or at
least to use as a hub for your sales on multiple sites, think about it,
if you plan on continuing to have a viable business selling online.
