Yeah ok Randy. You overestimate loyalty! What happens if someone comes in and lowers commisions by half?

Nobody will know about it, or if they do, they won't care. The sellers want the biggest number of bidders. The bidders want the best selection. eBay wins, unless and until one of the portals with huge membership numbers can find a good way to establish 'novelty' in their auction business. Yahoo has 35 million or so users, and can't get their auction business of the ground so far.
