EBay’s Traffic Drops Amid Identity Crisis

Is this the beginning of the end for Ebay? I know I sound like an alarmist but this NY Times blog entry outlines why:
1) Amazon (an alternative to Ebay) had more traffic
2) Not valuing their core users, e.g., mom and pop as much as big names
3) People spending less time at Ebay
4) Unlike Yahoo, Ebay products aren't guaranteed
5) When was the last time you were on Ebay?
