There are few absolute answers when it comes to legal issues, include trademark issues. It's all degrees of risk. (well, except the "ebayporn.com" thing - that is pretty cut and dry, IMHO)
You are taking a risk with "pornbay" or "sexbay". But only you can answer the question, "is the risk worth it?"
I think you are still taking significant risks with those two, especially if your motivation is to somehow benefit from EBay's trademark. And, if it comes down to litigation, EBay will ask and discover your motivation, including digging up this thread, which sorta proves that you are somehow looking to benefit from the EBay trademark.
My 2 cents is still, why bother? Find a unique name that is not too similar to anyone else's trademark.
