Ebay has the monopoly now but like you said, someone will eventually do it better and they will take a plunge. The way sellers are treated now with no ability to give buyers negative feedback, this might be the beginning of the end. The moment I get a buyer who gives me a negative because they have some silly issue, that will be it for me. I am already at the point where I will not take paypal anymore. They give the buyers complete control over your account and if you don't ship with a tracking number, the buyer can complain that they never got the item and take the money back from you!
