eBay to Raise Fees For Its Online Stores
San Francisco -- eBay Inc. reported its second-quarter results on Wednesday and with this, it also disclosed plans a buy back of $ 2 billion in stock; that would be the first share repurchase in the Internet giant's history.
However, the San Jose online marketplace expressed fears about a slowdown in the company's e-commerce business by saying it will raise fees for sellers who operate online stores, a move that will inevitably elicit grumbling from some of the Web site's users.
iPod sales fuel Apple profit
Apple Computer Inc. easily topped Wall Street's income forecast for the third quarter with a profit increase of about 48%, largely supported by the continued popularity of its industry-leading iPod music player.
