A "walking around" type analysis - what's actually happening on the ground - can't be beat. In Ebay's case there are lots of astute observations from the front, usually from long time sellers who are saddened and disappointed that EBAY has developed to such a point as to be almost unuseable by them. With these sellers' departure, many of the cool and expensive items go, the eyeballs go, the advertising revenue goes - and well, the company follows. Sure, there's still lots of cash in the till and lots of (tacky) items for sale but the trend is strongly downward. There's been such a negative branding developed, that even if top management did the right thing - and quit - Ebay will be a long time coming back to what it was. Sad.
