Google SHOULD take the fight to the next level and eliminate ebay auctions from their SERPs. They are nothing but spam. eBay would crumble like a stale cookie.

Doing that certainly would improve the SERPs, but the timing would be poor, since eliminating eBay auction results would leave Google open to charges that large advertisers were being favored (and large ex-advertisers were being screwed) in search results.

It would be better for Google to quietly turn down the lights on eBay results after the current tiff is history.
