THAT IS 59,097,600 IN A 24HR PERIOD, THAT IS HARD TO BELIEVE. MAYBE GROSS PRICE BUT EBAY IS NOT GETTING ALL THAT AS PROFIT.

Even if it was just half that amount that's pretty damn good.

I don't see them making 60 million dollars a day. But it is feasible that is 21,900,000,000 a year in revenue. Then with their overhead and all I imagine they pull in about 2-3 billion in profit.
