Has eBay peaked?

Lots of analysis going on lately, including this piece contemplating the limit of the 'network effect.' From the article: "eBay may also be a victim of its popularity: by trying to accommodate their hundreds of millions of users, eBay may have ended up displeasing many of them. Indeed, the site is so bloated and feature-laden that its programmers seem unable to manage it anymore, and its customer service has become overextended as a result"

YES

Maybe I just don't get it, but I can't figure out why none of the free eBay-like services have been successful. eBay's site design is not customer friendly, and their fees, combined with Paypal fees, really take a good chunk out of your bottom line. I definitely think it has peaked and hopefully some competitor will take out their knees! [QUOTE]
