eBay Dot MY

I recently registered a dot MY TLD even though I have not thought out what to do with the site. As you can see, a lot of major companies have changed their web addresses from .com.my to .my but eBay is still using .com.my, even though they have already registered .my with the domain registrar a few years ago.

Even so, eBay have yet to do anything with their website, and didn't even adopt the new domain name and redirecting the old URL to the new one. I find it is wasteful that they are not putting their stamp in the Malaysian online world. Sure, there are other Malaysian sites that are still using .com.my suffix but then these are mostly not "dot com" companies.

With the registration of eBay.my under their name, it shows that eBay recognizes the value in a shorter domain name but I don't see what's so difficult for them to make it into a full-fledged website, redirecting traffic from its original .com.my domain.
