eBay Q3 earnings preview: Core growth, listing mix and China

With eBay's business development rather stagnent of late, is there any chance they might just move to being paying dividends? Growing the company is all fine and good, but it seems that purchases of things like Skype were an impulse buy grounded on pure wishful thinking.

If eBay can't think of things to do with its revenue give it back to the investors.

Ann,

I think you're coruscating through your backside. It doesn't take an Einstein to see where eBay has lost ground regardless of how many "aces" it thinks it has.

"paragon revenue tenability" .. enlighten me, if you can do so without the patronizing attitude.

VC

My Money is on EBAY not your "backside". You are a Zebra in this horse race.

cover your strips so you can fit in.

give me EBAY any time..........

Ann,

I did a google and a yahoo search on the term "paragon revenue tenability", and every time it comes up, the link shows it's *you* that's saying that phrase.

Go on admit it.. you made that up that term, didn't you? I wont tell anyone.

no worries, Ann. As long as we're not inventing new phrases to pretend we know something.

This little zebra doesn't need to pretend he's anything but a zebra. ;)

Sigh
Let have some FUN with VC, who thinks 'paragon revenue tenability" is a phrase instead of three words.

I am LOL by backside

Help me Sigh.

Dear Ann,


VC et ilk have been all assimilated into the basherborgs. Rational/objective investor logic cannot be applied here. You ever argue with a person on politics and religion? It's futile. Not once has anyone countered my arguements in a logical and credible fashion.

All we can really do is smile and nodd and continue our voice of reason, objectivity and balance for those seeking investment advice but not relgious anti-ebay dogma :).

Ann let's just make oodle of money :) and let them continue to rant till their faces turn purple!

Ann, phrase or term, doesn't change the fact that there is little substance to what either you or sigh have to say.

It's obvious how both you belittle anyone who says anything valid in opposition to your viewpoints. And picking on a person's English (or lack of it)?.. the lowest form of humour. very crass

I always tell it like it is, and unlike the 'paragon revenue tenability' talk, I don't need to make up B.S. That's the difference between the both of you and myself. Have a nice day.

Ebay
BEAT THE STREET

Talk About revenue tenability

It’s in THERE........ thanks sigh

Oh VC come here now. You are not reading carefully enough. Ann and I both listen and acknowledge what you et ilk are saying but unfortunately when we weigh everything else against it, we just don't buy the "sky is falling" yelping. As i said before it's all in the "spaghetti sauce" but me thinks you don't understand what that means so naturally human behaviour dictates that you ignore it and continue the vent ad naseum.

There there now VC et ilk. It's ok its a free country and continue to vent and turn purple.

Ann and I will continue to make money :)

Sigh, you are welcome to read back and you will see I haven't vented even once.

Anyhow, you and your buddy Ann continue your propaganda campaign. I think most of the other commenters on these various blogs have realised by now that you're both a couple of spruikers planted by eBay.

Now, I'll take the advice from others here and ignore you. Have fun now, won't you?

VC yes I'm having loads of fun making of money. Thank you! Now it's your freedom of choice to stand on the sidelines and belly ache.

Please I encourage you et ilk to bash away....i want the stock price to drop and so I can back up the truck and LOAD UP!

Then again it's wishingful thinking that "thousands" of you so called disenchanted folks can affect the stock price :).

But hey I will humour myself. At the current price it assumes growth at 4% forever after 2006? I will take 15-20% growth for the next couple of years :) In the money at $24 :)

Sorry gotta run and catch the Ebay bus ! See ya!
