eBay is scheduled to report its Q4 2015 financial results on Wednesday, January 27th. According to early indications from ChannelAdvisor, eBay’s sales underperformed the broader e-commerce market during the three-month period ending December 2015. eBay’s average comparable sales in the holiday season (November 1 to December 31, 2015) reported growth of just 4.3% year-over-year (y-o-y) compared to over 20% for Amazon and about 32% for Google Shopping. ((December 2015 ChannelAdvisor Same Store Sales for eBay, Amazon, Google Shopping/PLA, CSE, Search and and Other Third Party Marketplaces., ChannelAdvisor, January 7, 2016)) In the upcoming Q4 2015 results, we expect eBay to report 5% y-o-y growth in active buyers to around 162 million, and expect the company’s gross merchandise value to decline by 2% y-o-y to around $21 billion. We also expect eBay’s Q4 top line to remain flat and meet the Reuters’ compiled consensus estimate of $2.32 billion.
