<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NPCoin, post: 417078, member: 5629&quot;]I mentioned earlier that the trust issues with eBay are beyond the scope of these fora, but in a way, its not.&nbsp; So I&#039;ll just leave this little bit of cud to chew on and think over for a while:</p><p><br /></p><p>eBay has been involved in a vast number of lawsuits these past three years against competitors.&nbsp; Most of what they have gone to court over had to deal with trade/servicemark and copyright/patent issues (site setup, look, feel, etc).</p><p><br /></p><p>Recently, however, eBay has been involving itself in obtaining position in smaller (even private) corporations (including Craigslist) in order to file investor lawsuits against competitors.&nbsp; As eBay continues this trend, where will you turn to?&nbsp; What if you favorite auction sites (Teletrade, Heritage, etc) get their stocks muffed into eBay hands?&nbsp; eBay can then easily force those competitors out, much like they force a number of smaller competitors out and are working on Cragislist right now.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll leave it at that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
