It looks like ebay is trying a lot of different tricks and promotions right
about now. I received an e-coupon for 10% off a purchase over $100. I also
received one for free shipping. Then came 5 free listings today only. So they
are really hustling.

I would say that very few businesses have given lots of discounts when business
is booming! In this case, it is surely earnings related. If they can get their
second quarter numbers up, the stock price will likely keep from tanking for
another 30-90 days, and that lets all the insiders sell another bushel full of
stock (which they have the company buy back through their buy back program).
Pretty smart on their part, as long as they are not breaking any laws.

Anyone else notice all the discounts eBay is offering expiring June 30th?
I was ask, along with many if not all of you, if I wanted to sign up for a 2%
credit bonus on purchases till June 30th. Then I got an email that untill June
30th they would triple that amount to 6% on any purchase.
Then I get a card in the mail that I can get 10% of any eBay purchase with
paypal up to a $1000 untill June 30th.
Now they just added $10 off shipping till June 30th. If I buy a $1000 item I
would get a total of $170 off! This would be paid by eBay. Even with their
higher fees I don't think they will quite take $170 from the seller in fees.
Well maybe close. June 30th is the end of the quarter and it might be eBay's
fiscal year end.
Are they trying to increase sales revenue for the year end? It will have to hit
their bottom line.These seem like very drastic measures. I am waiting and
watching for more discounts and if there is something I want enough and can
afford. Something nice from ebay.
P.S. I am doing a Western show in Cody, Wyoming Friday and Saturday. Will have
some nice posters there for sale. If you are anywhere near come on by.
