Comments on: How Big is eBay? Global Aquisitions and Investments http://tradingassistantjournal.com/2008/08/how-big-is-ebay-global-aquisitions-and-investments/ eCommerce News & Internet Marketing Commentary by: Scott Pooler Sun, 18 Jul 2010 17:23:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Scott Pooler http://tradingassistantjournal.com/2008/08/how-big-is-ebay-global-aquisitions-and-investments/comment-page-1/#comment-749 Scott Pooler Sun, 24 Aug 2008 15:57:31 +0000 http://allbusinessauctions.wordpress.com/?p=628#comment-749 Hey Wally, Thanks for the comment... Remember, I have no list of acquisitions subsequently sold off... and have no idea if Butterfield and Butterfield is still owned by eBay. Agree completely PayPal is the star of the show, with StubHub coming in second in my book... Craigslist was a total bust as I have written about previously here: http://snurl.com/3jao8 Rent.com, Meetup.com, Shopping.com, Carad, MercadoLibre, Half.com and Stumbleupon are all thumbs up buys just based on visibility and usefulness. Some deride Skype, but that is based upon over paying for the product, not the usefulness of the service. I use Skype every day and love it. I wish eBay would have integrated it into the main platform better, sooner, more completely, but I still use Skype regardless... Good Product with a high pricetag, how many of us have experienced the same kind of purchases? Hey Wally,

The most impressive to me is Butterfield and Butterfield. But what will they do with it? I think the smartest move eBay ever made was the PayPal buy. StumbleUpon was a fun one, I just hope they keep their hands off it to allow the site to remain pure. I think the most important thing in the ether right now that eBay should be paying attention to is the GoAntiques acquisition by Worthpoint. That’s quite a list.
