eBay's executives detailed what it called the company's key opportunities for growth across its three major business areas: eBay in the United States, eBay International, and PayPal. A company-issued press release can be found online at http://investor.ebay.com/releases.cfm?Year=2005

The Webcast of analyst day is available for a limited time online at http://investor.ebay.com/index.cfm

One analyst asked about the planned strike by sellers on February 18. Cobb said they have heard about it, but he said they didn't know what would happen. CEO Meg Whitman jumped in and said, "These kinds of discussions have happened before,... This is not the most upset this community has been." Whitman referred back to the introduction of checkout in 1999 and said, "The great thing about this company is you have instantaneous feedback,...They (sellers) have a lot of issues and have things they'd like us to change....We will see what happens here, but this is not the first time we've sort of heard these kinds of rumors."
