May I Say His Stinking Thinking Has Turned Ebay Into What Is Today Feebay...

Hoarding Billions Out of the Country...Now Paying Billions To Bring It Back...

Shares Are Down...New Sellers Policy Is Nothing But a Criminal Act...

Giving The Power To Bad Buyers... And Unsuspecting Buyers Just Asking a Question...

His Mantra Is "If You Can't Dazzle With Brilliance"  "Baffle Them With BS"...

I've Been On a Thinking Quest As Well John And I'm On To You...That's a bizarre article. Isn't he supposed to be working rather than writing puff pieces to stroke his ego. The only reason he wrote it was to check daily the comments and monitor how many people kissed his pitoot.

The comments are pathetic, watching people pet his leg. Half are hoping to get a job at eBay, the other half peddling their services.

By far the most LOL moment I had was seeing where it said:

I wonder if JD closed the door, mounted a Canon Powershot on a tripod, then spent an entire morning getting the photo just right. Ah, the time one can waste when he's the boss. I hope he used his "thinking day" for this silliness.

P.S. He did not say anything that inspiring. That's how you can tell all those people were stroking him. Anyone with an ounce of business sense or street smarts would have graded this article a "C" (at most).

P.P.S. I pity his staff. You just know he passed this around and asked "Now give me your honest opinion." The poor folks had to fake it, fake it real good. "Oh John, this is one of the most inspiring things I have ever read. I taped it to my fridge. And I dictated it as an MP3 file. I play it on the commute to work, every day, to and from."
