It’s been a while since eBay presented in such an underwhelming way at its annual eBay Live! Conference. The traditional keynotes were sprinkled with thinly veiled reconciliation efforts. The Bits-Blog of the NY Times summarizes eBay's efforts with its post, "EBay Tries to Buy a Little More Love from Sellers":
"The key problem with eBay is that the value of what it offers has not kept up with the price it charges sellers."
It seems that eBay is busier than ever with itself. In contrast to previous years, this year’s eBay Live! didn’t cast any ripples that go beyond eBay’s already shrinking borders.
Or as one observer put it: “eBay Live 2008 (or as I called it “eBay coma 2008″)"
