I wanted to post this before Coinstartled did with some odd comment to follow.

Discuss .....

Coinstartled

Thank you EOC. I thought you would never wake up.

The CTO in May and now the CEO/President.

Changes are afoot... Hmm...

Coinstartled

On a side note, the platform for printing mailing labels on Ebay became increasingly more complex. I switched to Printing off of paypal which still takes a few more clicks but it is manageable. Seems a bit less expensive as well.

The big question is ...... How will this affect the eBay eBucks Offers???

They can now lower their fees since that's a $15 Million yearly salary savings without a CEO.

I say he's stepping down so he can sell all his stock before the recession hits.

Ebay has alot of other problems. Maybe hes getting lucky before the whistleblowers come talking.

You laugh but the smart money employees did this at FireEye

The all-time high FireEye stock closing price was 95.63 on March 05, 2014.

Let the theories and forecasts begin..... Sit back, relax and enjoy the reshuffle show. Cheers, RickO

Pretty much all of their "updates" are not for the better. I'm a millennial and I am tech savvy and their old selling dashboard and old printing dashboard were more sleek, intuitive and streamlined to use.

My buying has significantly gone down now that the CT sales tax of 6.35% has been added to every ebay transaction as I'm sure others have as well. That is no fault of eBay, but I'm sure it is hurting their sales.

eBay definitely cheaper labels for me. If you get the commercial plus discount, much lower than PayPal.

I don't really like the new mailing label form on eBay, but it still seems easier to me than the PayPal one which I only use for non-eBay sales.

Or he needs to move his assets offshore before Bernie's 8% wealth tax applies.

The impact of the out-of-state sales tax collection on many hobby areas, not just coins, if probably considerable. I know I now decline to make many purchases due to the sales tax. The item isn't purchased in-state, it just isn't purchased at all.
Increasingly I ask myself, "do I really need this" and the answer is often no.

It would seem to suggest a stronger likelihood of a StubHub spinoff

The article did say they were going to be selling assets. It appears that he step down before he was pushed down.
" both Devin and the Board believe a new CEO is best for the Company at this time."

I'm thinking he realizes he is over his head in the CEO seat. It is one thing to lead the technical part of the business, but a whole new world when you get to manage all the other parts of the monster. And if there are serious issues in the other departments, he may not be capable or willing to take them on.

Good for him. Glad he got out.

I agree with a couple of the posters here about I am really questioning my desire to have a particular coin based on being taxed. It has definitely curbed my impulsivity’s.
It’s a win-win.

Too much tax not enough bonus bucks. Tried to buy an eagle tonight listed under jewelry category and they wanted 6%. WTF? This is the commonwealth FFS!
