    The announcement was largely unrelated to the potential economic impact of a slowdown in e-commerce. Rather, it represented an effort by eBay to improve the performance of its core marketplace division, which has experienced declining, single-digit growth in the last few years while the rest of e-commerce grows at a double-digit clip.

    In other words, they're not losing money, they're just not making money at the rate they used to.

    Tough times even for garage sales these days.

    eBay treats its sellers like crap. Screw 'em.
