We are working on getting eBay Mobile for the iPhone internationalized as soon as possible. We built the app in a matter of weeks, so we weren’t able to have it globally at launch, but it is our top priority.

At the moment, it seems that only the US can download the eBay app onto their iphone. I understand that the eBay is in the Top 5 of Free apps in the US for the iphone, and I'm sure that demand translates to other countries like UK, Australia, etc. What do you think?

I feel like Ebay is dead to me. I'm still listing and selling, but I don't believe for one minute I have a future with Ebay. It's so confusing. They're developing products like this but literally showing sellers the exit door. It's a mystery. How is one to plan their selling strategy for the rest of the year, much less next year when Ebay is showing such instability. I'm looking into new careers, probably outside of the e-commerce world. I don't trust Ebay. They'd really have to turn it all around for me to believe in them again. This new management team is nothing short of cut-throat. Who would want to deal with people like this? Money's just not that important to me. Integrity and moral in a person is what I look to me. This company is exhibiting everything opposite of that. Sorry for the downer post. But I wake everyday in a slump. Going to work at my computer is just not the same. I used to feel the sky was the limit. I could be as successful as I wanted with Ebay. Now, I'm just wondering what new surprises is Ebay going to cook up and announce today. Nothing good or positive comes out of San Jose anymore. That’s an awesome device, but my first thought is why?

I am sure you will have lots to talk about next week with eBay Live. Maybe you can break a good story by confirming that eBay will soon start collecting FVF's on S/H. That will generate some interest if you can get some details on exactly how that will work. Will FVF's drop back to where they were since S/H will be included? I am sure you can find someone inside eBay to give you a sneek peek. Or you could break the story that sellers with high DSR's will get FREE listings just like Buy.com does. Details on how that will work would really engage the community. Please bring us the news we need to plan and operate our businesses with. Fluff is nice to fill in with, but there is REAL news you could be covering. You are the "inside guy", please bring us the news we need to hear. Just a thought.... Doctor Deals @Richard
