I know that a lot of activity on Shopify is from ambitious but deluded people setting up dropshipping businesses. Shopify is just selling picks and shovels to a lot of prospectors in a particularly unfruitful gold rush. I'm wondering whether they'll see a contraction as the enthusiasm wears off.

Bigger than eBay by market cap, but much smaller by revenue.

Does that reflect a difference in how payments are handled? I can connect my Stripe account to Shopify, but I can't do that on eBay.

What does that have to do with revenue vs profit?
