Merrill Lynch Conference Call

Monday, April 30th at noon EST, I was invited to talk about the Q1 results we saw from eBay, Amazon, Google and Yahoo!.  It was definitely an interesting quarter (e.g. amazon's growth rate surprised everyone - is that related to eBay's core growth challenges?).

Of course I have lots of theories around what's going on and insights at a micro level from individual sellers.  Details follow.  If you are interested in attending shoot Betsyk (at) channeladvisor.com an email and she'll get you the dialin information.
