Advisors' Opinion:

• [By WALLSTCHEATSHEET]

  Ebay is an established company that has made a name for itself pioneering internet commerce. The company recentlysigned a multiyear accord with Fifth & Pacific Cos. Inc.The stock has moved higher in recent years but is now pulling back as it digests gains from a recent run. Over the last four quarters, earnings have been mixed while revenues have been rising which has left investors to expect more from the company. Relative to its peers and sector, eBay has been a weak year-to-date performer. WAIT AND SEE what eBay does this coming quarter.

• [By Will Ashworth]

  Spotting the winners in online-only retail is a very tricky deal because there really arent many publicly traded options. Beyond Amazon and eBay (EBAY), you might have a handful of names worth considering, including ZU stock. Add in the fact retailers arent nearly as forthcoming about their monthly sales numbers as they used to be and you have a very imprecise exercise.

  Weak forecasts were also the bane of eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY  ) investors Thursday, as shares plummeted 6.7% lower. Unfortunately, the international markets that eBay has tried to focus its attention on to help stimulate growth in recent years aren't looking as robust as they once did. It's not that sales are worse than they were a year or two ago; it's that sales growth abroad is slowing, lowering expectations for future profitability. Revenue this year is now expected to be at the lower end of 2013 guidance.
