ebay has shifted their focus away from online auctions into an online marketplace format. they've admitted it themselves, and their sellers are angry at it. if you don't call that struggling in their primary market, i don't know what is. i never said that the company was about to go under, or anything, but their shift in focus and strategy is an indication that their auction model is failing and that they need support from elsewhere. there's room for usurping the online auction house power.
