Apparently, things haven't been going so well for the online giant.

It would seem that selling off PayPal was a mistake.

I wonder how they really are doing.  I've been on since 98.  Sales are down, fees are up and now they collect sales tax, yuck.  Still a great place to find old car and boat parts but I buy and sell less and less each year.
