Last week I had to travel for a presentation that I was schedule to deliver in Florida. While sitting in the airport on the way down, I got a great idea. I decided to do an eBay study!

So what is an eBay study? Glad you asked…I am a little board with sellers, CEO’s, "stock sluts" and auction writers perspective of what eBay is. Mainly I am sick of their perspective because in reality that does not matter AT ALL. What really matters to me personally is what the everyday person on the street thinks eBay is. Ultimately it is the buying public who determines what eBay is and how it plays out for my business needs.

So I decided to turn on the cameras and just ask them! The results were pretty interesting to me, and I will put up my thoughts at the end of this series of blog posts.

So here is what this study is all about. I asked each persons 2 questions and there is no right or wrong answers. I did NOT tell them what the questions were in advance cause I wanted a spontaneous answer.
