Yes, I think Ebay will die by a thousand cuts.

There won't be one grand disruption (except maybe Amazon or Alibaba), but there will be many small vertical disruptions, like Etsy.

The real question is why Facebook is poaching from EBay and not vice versa.

Because they are failing to understand the importance of having smart people on board. I did an internship over there few months back. People are generally not motivated. They have below par hiring practices, especially in engineering.
