I think this is one of the best articles I've read about what is REALLY happening at eBay and the news is NOT good.
http://www.forbes.com/home/2008/10/06/ebay-donahoe-whitman-tech-enter-cz_vb_1006ebay.html

Read the whole article, this is the end of it:
"There is no technology visionary at the top of eBay's organization chart, unless you want to include newly appointed board member and Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen. Dozens of high-ranking veteran eBay employees have left since Donahoe joined the company in 2005. Some of that Bain drain was a much-needed shakeout, but custodians of the original flair are gone, too. Morale is likely to take a further hit after the layoffs.

Ultimately, Donahoe must describe what eBay is if it isn't an auction site. If not, he risks a repeat of eBay Express and the consultants will move on to the next project."

I read every word! Thanks so much for posting this. (Normally, I'd get tired of reading and start skimming. Not this time.)
