--There is no shame in self promotion,-- There is if you're abusing a monopoly. It's against the law for very practical reasons.

An excellent point but do you really feel that Ebay has a monopoly? Yes it is the standard place for online auctions, but KFC is the standard for take out fried chicken and they don't have coke for the same reasons.

Your point is valid though I just am not sure I would go so far as to call Ebay a monopoly, there are so many online aucttion sites popping up now that Ebay doesn't even have top search results for "online auction" when I search in Google.
