Hi Dennis:

Banner ads can be bought for at little as $3 to $5 per thousand, although some are getting more.

Also, eBay is ALREADY quite slow without adding a banner to ever page that is viewed.

Even if eBay were faster, banner ads would slow things down considerably, and therefore create less bidding, making it less attractive for sellers.

However, there is considerable opportunity for eBay to make decent revenue with ad banners...
