Being a keen eBayer and seeing how much they make from me, I was considering it a possible investment opportunity for shares. However, I have been taking a look a the London price and it would seem they have lost 30% of their value this year alone and 70% for the years since the dot com crash.
My question then is 'Is eBay still fundementall overvalued?
Some reasoning would be greatly appreciated, also I would be interested in share investment advice for the future. I am bearish on debt and the housing market, but feel there will be companies that will prosper in this uncertain time. With this line of thinking, who would be a potential investment?
Thanks!

I was on the same page with you but, with their recent work with Google I feel they are still a market leader and they do have room to grow. Though i keep them within my speculatory stock folder, so I don't think it is a sure thing.

As a eBay powerseller an a very successful one too all i can say is its on a rise the world is now looking smaller every day my business model would have never been possible without this online creation and as more and more products keep getting on the niche keep increasing - EBay is on an up. Do remember eBay has launched in alot of country's like India where the population buying on line is still a very small number this gives them big opportunity to grow in the coming year. I just have to come up with a plan to stay on top of my field.
I hope that helps
:-)
To answer the origional question it is not overrated but they should definately reduce there prices and give more to the people who make them sucessful - US.

As an eBay powerseller, I've recently left the site. I only use it for advertising now. Read a few of the business/community boards.
They are putting the fees up, and taking the listing visibility and customer service down.
