eBay is a poor example, they sell prominent placement in search results, just like Amazon. Since they both act as search engines for products, this means that you as the seller can buy influence on those results. They aren't banner ads, that idea for e-commerce marketplace sites is outdated.
Selling prominent placement makes suppliers fight each other for eyeballs and increases the revenue cut that goes to eBay/Amazon.
