If any one was thinking that MAFIA tactics are passe on the INTERNET and in the NEW ERA read this nandotimes.com The probe, which has been under way since December but still is in its early stages, is focused on eBay's attempts - including a federal lawsuit against one competitor and threats to sue another - to prevent smaller Web companies from listing on their own sites items being auctioned by eBay's customers. One of eBay's top lawyers, Jay Monahan, said in a statement Friday that company officials "have had some discussions with staff at the Justice Department regarding eBay and the online trading business generally." ......................... Lawyers from Justice's antitrust division wanted to know about "eBay and their business practices within the industry," said James Carney, chief executive officer of rival Bidder's Edge, which was sued by eBay in December in federal court in California. Carney met for two hours in early January with antitrust lawyers here in Washington, after Justice contacted his company in late December requesting an interview.
