Here's some food for thought

1. Regardless of all the selling fees and paypal issues, eBay has done so well with their branding that they will probably get (if they don't already have it) a dictionary entry like google has. Even Weird Al did a song about eBay.
2. 50% of the items I find for sale on eBay come from google searches.
3. eBay is slow! Fees aside, eBay's biggest challenge is how time consuming it is to sell stuff on there. I am sure Google will find a way to speed up the whole buying and selling process. They seem to have sped up most everything else.

An interesting move would be if google just bought eBay, although the feds would probably block the deal. Google could make the site faster, cheaper and easier to use.

Hopefully the move will result in a better eBay and another place to sell/buy our useless crap.
