Here is today's AuctionBytes online-auction news roundup.
"Why eBay, Amazon Shares Are Up," Wall Street Journal, 10/1/07
Extremely interesting article about the fact that Wall Street no longer looks solely at total auction listings and new users to gauge whether eBay and Amazon are growing, but are now looking at metrics such as revenue generated per Internet user, operating margins and overall revenue growth. "Many of these metrics are typically used to evaluate retailers such as Starbucks Corp. and Gap Inc. That means some analysts now are comparing eBay and Amazon with brick-and-mortar retailers rather than high-technology concerns."

"Does anyone see a contradiction here?" by Steve Lindhorst on his GenuineSeller Blog, 9/29/07
A very interesting look at eBay's strategy with regard to eBay Motors. It highlights the confusion of whether eBay is an auction site, fixed price marketplace or classifieds site.
