eBay after the bell 7-05-06: More of the same


ebay intraday stock chart 07-06-06EBay share price plunged 2.88% today to close at $28.64, 84 cents lower.

While the day started with a fun report regarding Nicole Kidman's recent wedding to Urban memorabilia showing up on eBay Australia, the rest of the news was more of the same.

EBay UK officially announced yesterday that they will launch Skype buttons this week while concerns over eBay's ability to profit from blogs were raised.

This last is especially relevant as MeCommerce, a new contextual advertising platform, was recently launched with a much better offer for bloggers - splitting the profits (above cost) with the bloggers right down the middle.  EBay's latest launch of its own contextual ads for affiliates program only offers a cut of the fee eBay charges its merchants.  Not only that, but bloggers have been spoiled by other affiliate programs such as Google Adsense and Amazon.

In order to succeed eBay will need to not only make its program competitive with others already out there, but also deal with concerns over inventories, as Sarah Gilbert pointed out.
