Here's the problem with domains like that... you are going to be asked by lawyers (yours, theirs, and the judge) "why do you have that domain name?", "why does it have the name EBAY in it?"

Presumably (unless your real name is E. Bay) the truthful answer is you hope, somehow, to make more money by having EBAY in your domain; better SE positioning perhaps. And that is exactly how Ebay will be able to prove that you are benefitting from their trademark.

In otherwords, the more successful you are with that domain name the more doomed you are.

You have no chance, unless the site is a total failure and no one ever finds it.

Like I said, "Why bother?"
