"If you post it, they will come." That's the kind of thinking that has made eBay a mega hit. From beanie babies to baccarat crystal, you can find it on eBay, and you can sell it on eBay, too.
The company has grown leaps and bounds and keeps expanding its customer base. But its new fees have angered some sellers, who say the company is getting a bit too greedy.
But whether you've ever bought, sold, or just looked, all can agree that eBay has changed commerce. The old yard sale is now online, and who knows what people will able to buy or sell on the internet in the future.
Hear a discussion on the road traveled, and the big picture ahead for internet commerce.

Boeing's Nosedive |
Listen
A brief affair with a female executive has grounded permanently the career of Boeing's top gun, Harry Stonecipher. The scandal comes just 15 months after an ethics scandal forced the resignation of his predecessor, and the company's former chief financial officer was sent to jail for violating federal contracting laws.
Boeing's latest scandal comes at a delicate time for the company. Only last Friday, the Air Force lifted a ban that prohibited Boeing from bidding on satellite launch contracts.
Hear Michael O'Neal, reporter for The Chicago Tribune, report on the latest.
