Looking forward to the $3M fine they settle on. That'll teach eBay, surely.
EBay isn't that big. A 3 million dollar fine would sting
They did nearly $10B in revenue last year…
Yeah, and a net loss of a bit over $1B. Revenue ≠ money in the bank.
But a $3M loss is going to sting when they’re already losing over 333 times that per year?
Yes it will. Also the PR negativity from this caused there stock to drop %1.6 according to Reuters.
I am not a fan of these silly laws but the enforcement will be effective
