    I’m guessing they’re also betting on a revamp / to be more competitive with Amazon and that their diamond hand fans (I don’t know how else to describe them) will switch over to ebay in droves, they would.

      Yes that’s my guess as well: the prospect of stealing even a fraction of the business that Amazon does would probably make the whole thing worth it, and to that end, the main thing eBay brings to the table is the kind of pre-established brand recognition that money can’t buy.

      It’s because so many people scalp shit from GS to sell on eBay. They’re trying to figure out how to make money off of that.
