Question?

I can imagine many auction site owners being a never wreck now as their business are about to go under. Ebay owns Buy It Now and the auction algorythm. This affects police auctions, government auctions, repo auctions, mom & pop stores, etc. I assume all stores are at risk.

Isn't this buyout illegal? I'm just asking. I'm clueles about this but... Ebay has the auction monopoly on the internet and now there is truly no hope to beat them as they own those patents. Just asking.

Not good at all

Now I'm sure they will increase BIN fees to cover the 25million they lost. They should have stipulated no increase in fees for 2 years to cover our butts!

Ebay's greedy practices.

Does this mean Ebay will limit all businesses to enforce a buy it in a minute selling format? They own buyitnow and i'm sure their greed will produce some outlandish lawsuits.

expect it!
