The obvious is a wicked spike in something during 2010. Does not seem like eBay would eek along for 10 years or so doing around 15-16 mil in sales. 2010 has been a lean year for us all, even with the changes made by eBay I doubt if there sale profits woild go up 10 fold in a year, However, if eBay is tracking ticked off sellers and buyers then the 2010 numbers make sense!

Hard for me to believe, also. Even with the free auctions, whenever I do a search, it seems that most of my results are BINs from sellers stores, not auctions.

I don't believe those numbers for auctions. Perhaps overall listings including fixed. I can say that our business model has now done away with virtually all auctions and now only do fixed prices.
I can ask whatever I want and accept a good offer when it comes. We also list many more items from our business overall than previous, but again they are all fixed price, not auctions.
