Yeah. 50% of a small number vs 2% of a much MUCH bigger number. It's a classic mistake that the statically-blind make.

A mistake?

So that means Shopify grew by 500M and EBay grew by 200M. Is that right?

Ebay grew by $200m, shopify by $500m.

eBay has also been around for how long? That is not really a proper comparison.

It would explain why the market caps and revenue numbers diverge.

My kids grew their lemonade stand revenue 125% month-over-month. Truly impressive! :-)
