Facebook and Facebook Marketplace probably scares them to death. It's a bad sign if the executives at eBay are so clueless as to only okay this project because they saw Facebook do it.
How does this application reduce their HW & other costs anyway? Seems like they are trying to be like 'me too' with this application... unless I am missing something here.
I'm not sure what has changed since then. I still work there (for the next 3 days anyway), and I know the cost structure of people vs. hardware hasn't changed dramatically. Guess it must be the burning desire to catch some of the Facebook "platform" love.
