Without the ebay ads, Google will present a better search results page for a bit.

I don't see anything wrong with the party. Competitive companies through events all the time around other big conferences or gatherings. It's business. ebay is the monster that is restricting another form of payment. As a former powerseller, I view that as annoying. It should be up to sellers to do business how they want. Ebay is just a forum for people to get together and do independent transactions. If another big system is set up by the postal service, ups or a credit card company, will they ban that too? If Paypal had any kind of service or protection, people wouldn't want to go elsewhere.

Paypal did the same party thing before at ebay live and ebay wound up buying them down the road.
