Never in the history of the internet has a new logo been posted to a forum and elicited a positive response. I think it's a fundamental law of the internet.
It's inoffensive, but it doesn't retain any of the personality of the iteration we know. I'm not a big fan, but for a company like ebay where their logo doesn't really appear in a lot of different places, it's fine.
If Apple or Microsoft released a logo with this little of personality, it would be a mistake.
