"...a sort of eBay for drugs hidden in a dark corner of the web known as Tor..." :(

  What's the issue with that? The .onion sites definitely make up a dark corner.

    Maybe the eBay bit: Silk Road uses zero auction features (if you don't like a price, you can either not buy, or buy from a different vendor), you can't sign up to be a seller for free, and the general experience is more comparable to using Amazon's third-party sellers.

      On the other hand eBay has been encouraging the 'buy it now' options the last couple years. Auctions are so passé.
