We've been over this before. BIDS sells the products directly to consumers. EBay has a *different* business model: it sells items, in effect, on commission, so it reports the commission. It never takes possession of the goods, legal or physical. Naturally it will report revenues *not* based on the value of the goods transacted through its site.

BIDS reports gross revenue based on what it sells (ie. a computer it sells for $1000 is worth $1000 gross revenue). Explain to me how that's different from any other business, retail or not.

Look back on this thread and you'll find excellent rebuttals for all your points.
