Apparently you are correct -- not a rumour any longer.

eBay has a real competitor now:

Yahoo has failed to make headway against eBay, and I expect Amazon wil run into the same problem.

Further, if Amazon is not careful, I can see the auction business taking away from their customers buying new books, CDs and videos from them.

For example, why pay $30 for a new book when Amazon points me to someone selling the same book in slightly used condition for $8 ?
