Ouch! Missed revenue targets by just $10 Million!
(in my best Maxwell Smart imatation)
“Missed it by THAT much!”
I think we have some insight and confirmation into the plethora of March $EBAY sitewide buyer coupons.
Maybe just one more would have nudged it over the line? (but hey, either way give the finance intern who hit the backspace key on the PowerPoint to round “$2.58B” to “$2.6B” a raise!)
Crossing fingers that June (or September) will be a great month to get the holiday shopping done with a new flurry of quarterly coupons!
Devin, don’t let us down bro, we need more 25-percent off flash coupons!
The amount of inventory that I’ve had listed on the site has dropped by about 45% in Q1. I never seem to get a boost from those coupons either, despite collectors on forums looking for what I sell.
