A Psychological Perspective On eBay

Stephen writes "Success on eBay is like playing a game of cards. There's strategy, psychology, and luck. Brice takes us on a journey through the Pyschological side of eBay and shares some of his secrets for success! Here's a clip: "Amongst all the recent doom, gloom, and restructuring of many Internet based dot com's companies, eBay is one of the few Internet based companies that have actually made some serious money in this downturn. For all of you that are not aware, eBay has beat it's 2001 first quarter earnings forecasts and expects its second and third quarter earnings to also be above expected projections. To give you an idea, First quarter revenues rang in at $154.1 million, of which $21.1million was profit (that is 8 cents per share profit). This compares to $85.9 million in revenue at the same time last year, of which only $1.8million was profit (1 cent per share).""
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
