1) A near monopoly on auctions due to network effects,2) PayPal -- Solid already but looking to expand into payments by mobile phone3) Skype -- Everyone thought that was a horrible acquisition. Could it be that everyone was wrong?Only thing that worries me is Craigslist. I think it is going to continue to take market share from Ebay.

eBay owns a 25% stake in Craigslist and as a result receives a proportionate revenue share from them. The success of Craigslist is actually a plus for eBay.

Exactly - Craigslist even allows links to ebay auctions from your locale now. Which just goes to show, you don't have to do any actual research if you have a thousand stocks you want to short in a bear market to be highly ranked.
