From eBay…

Holiday Catalogs and TV Campaign
Our holiday catalog was sent out to 4 million households in early November, and we're seeing some very good results. Plus, our Gift Guide will also be sent out to 4 million homes later this month.

In addition, we're running full throttle with our "IT" TV ads that communicate the central theme that "whatever IT is, you can get IT on eBay." They’re airing on all major networks, including FOX, NBC, CBS, and ABC. You can see them on high-profile programming such as Lost, CSI: Miami , and Deal or No Deal. The holiday-focused ads will also appear across many cable networks.

If you haven’t seen the TV ads yet, you can find them online at www.whatisit.com. Several new versions will be unveiled before the year is out, so bookmark this link. As I said in my last message, by the end of the year we'll have reached 85% of our consumer audience an average of 13 times each.

National "Sleep In" Day
We all know people who get up at dawn the day after Thanksgiving and fight the crowds just to pick up a few bargains, right? Well, this year we're reminding holiday shoppers that on eBay, you can forget all that. We're naming next Friday National "Sleep In" Day!  Part of what makes eBay special is that you get the best deals any time of the day or night, right from your own home. You can even shop in your jammies -- if that's your thing . So this year forget about setting your alarm, and enjoy the extra rest before you shop on eBay. Keep an eye out for our National "Sleep In" Day TV commercial (this commercial, too, will be available at www.whatisit.com soon).
