Full D8 Video: EBay CEO John Donahoe

As promised, All Things Digital is posting the full videos from our eighth D: All Things Digital conference, held in early June.

Here’s Walt Mossberg’s interview with eBay (EBAY) CEO John Donahoe, about the situation at the iconic Silicon Valley e-commerce giant.

While the clear leader in the online auction space, eBay had seen growth stall amid increased competition from formidable rivals like Amazon (AMZN) and others. Donahoe has been trying to reinvigorate the company, an effort that has had its ups and downs.

That includes positives such as PayPal and negatives such Skype. Also discussed: Mobile shopping.

Here’s the full video of the D8 interview session with Donahoe.

    Whoever that Jan lady from CBS was she was a godsend! An angel! SHE should have been interviewing John Donahoe. She came out with the valid points that are killing Ebay's core! She came out with some of the reasons why sellers are leaving Ebay and taking buyers with them! She finally put Donahoe in his place about his boast that he lowered fees! Truth is fees have taken a giant leap up and knocked out a lot of small sellers who simply cannot afford that site any more! Donahoe and his 99 cent free listings should be sent packing….he's a horrible joke!

    How did you guys manage to publish this video so quickly? One month after recording must be some sort of record.
