eBay have announced figures for the first quarter of 2007, dubbed “a very strong one” by Meg Whitman. Net revenues were US$1.77 billion, 27% up the same period last year. 588 million items were listed over the three months, up 13 million from Q1 2006. Paypal’s revenues grew 31% to US$439million, and the total number of accounts increased 36% to 143 million worldwide. Skype revenues grew 123% to US$79 million, with registered users up 107% to 196 million worldwide. In a rare moment of pro-eBay feeling, Blogging Stocks comment that reports of their death are greatly exaggerated.

    I’ve never had a problem with eBay making all this money and being successful. IMO, they could actually be more successful if they just partnered with their sellers instead of treating them like sheep.

    Can’t argue with that, Randy!
