If Google got into the game, they would end ebay or at least make them change their ways from big box stores to more like it was in 2004, but they hold off because of the tons of money ebay pays then in the pay per click. Free money.

It's highly unlikely, but you never know. Business in Internet Land is fast-changing and dynamic. The notion that the search engine Yahoo could be surmounted by a newcomer (Google) was once laughable. (Google actually wanted to license their technology to Yahoo, rather than be their own search engine, but Yahoo declined.) Friendster once looked poised to become the premier social connection site, until it was surmounted by Myspace. Myspace once looked poised to become the premier social connection site, until it was surmounted by Facebook. A company only has to make one or two bad decisions to give an upstart competitor the chance to steal their customer base.

Warren Buffett (the world's wealthiest investor) once said that the reason he's never invested in technology or dot-com businesses is because it's almost impossible to predict their economic outlook 10, 15, or 20 years down the line. The landscape changes too fast.

I predict in ten years the robots will take OVER!!!!

They aren't going anywhere. We keep thinking their going to shot themselves in the foot with all of the dumb changes they keep making,yet they still go on. All other auction sites that have come along have folded before they ever will. Until the right site comes along that can truly give them a run for their money,they'll be sticking around.

I've only been a Buyer on eBay. It's nice to be able to go to a site to look for the stuff you remember having as a kid and would like to get again. It's usually on eBay.

I have noticed that there are a lot of Sellers who flood the categories with crap on BUY IT NOW auctions.
