    Looking forward to the $3M fine they settle on. That’ll teach eBay, surely.

          Yeah, and a net loss of a bit over $1B. Revenue ≠ money in the bank.

              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
