eBay Shedding Extra Pounds?

Major changes for eBay this month, starting with the sale of StumbleUpon a news/content-voting service followed by its announcement to let go of Skype in 2010.  It then announced changes in its auction marketplace, attempting to make buying and selling a more efficient process.

Over the past year, eBay has been the target of frequent criticism and was also suffering from a decline in users.  The recent moves have been confirmed by eBay as a move back to their core ecommerce and online payment businesses.
