You make a good point -- what do they sell? It seems to me that they are an "internet" company in the sense that most people were thinking of years ago. They are an online "market". This is one area that always made sense to me as a use of the internet -- communications, information and market-creation. Ebay does not just facilitate trades in the market -- ebay "is" the market, something like the way the NYSE and the Naz "are" the stock market. This does have entry barriers.

glenn, e-bay sells a service through brand recognition and technology. imho, they are clearly a service company. that service appears to be valued at the present time.
