Brenda - eBay has announced that they are ending their LIVE auction
format, but not regular auction listings. They are changing their pricing
schemes to promote more of the fixed-price listings, but I doubt they
would ever give up auctions altogether.


Ah.. the information e-mail I got from them was very murky (like most of
their e-mail and their TOS).

I had heard some talk about them possibly going to all PayPal for payments, both
to and from, supposedly for IRS purposes, to nail the big sellers such as
Radio-Mart.

Any info on that?

Some places they already have.. such as Australia. I've read that Oz is a
test market and they do plan on going that way everywhere eventually.

Maybe...

They had an article in the Wall Street Journal a few months ago that
said the anti-trust division of the Aussie government was opening an
investigation of eBay forcing everyone to use PayPal. Stay tuned...
