Both the summary and the article refer to amazon's 14% as being nearly 2x ebay's 8.8%.
Can we expect a little more numeracy here please? Especially when the numbers in question are the *primary focus* of the article?
14 is 59% greater than 8.8. Imagine: "Wow, you got it for $100? I paid almost twice that, $159!"
