Ebay strike !

eBay prices are up - OMG!

More news at 11:00....

Tell me another another product or service that hasn't undergone price increases recently?

Oil company profits skyrocket - OMG!

Then look at the industry sector stats, showing oil companies in the lower 30th percentile. 70% of other economic sectors including heathcare and many others had greater profit margins last year.

Why are oil company profits going up so fast, regardless of their relative comparison to the economy as a whole? Because more and more people are driving more vehicles, including gas guzzlers. The trucking industry and airlines are moving record quantities of cargo and people. Record oil company profits - big freakin' surprise.

Why are eBay prices (and profits, I'm sure) going up? because it provides a valuable service more and more people are using. They will charge whatever the market will support. Good luck.
