          Its not really a lot of money - They will no doubt recoup that in a matter of months.

          Besides Ebay is just the biggest 'Jumble Sale' in the world this section makes me laugh my head off every time:

          http://search.ebay.co.uk/VHS_W0QQsoloctogZ9

          You have to be stir crazy to sit ansd list things you wanna sell for 50p! -

          Also E Bay dont support adult so there is not a hope I will support/use their services

            maybe it aint much maybe it is, fact is that they will probably fuck it up and change the current idea of the site.

                                                      eBay has MUCH more to lose than they would gain by putting out false and misleading information like this.

                                                                  They never really fucked up PayPal's site, everything still remained the same idea and layout basically, except for eBay using PayPal to run their payment processing monopoly.

                                                                  Not even the customer service changed. I don't understand why you have to fax eBay a screenshot of a PayPal payment when you should be able to just give them the transaction ID for them to call the PayPal department with.

                                                                  If they invested 1 million of that small percentage of capital they used to buy neverheardof.nl and invested it in a better customer service team to actually take calls and reply to emails in a person to person point of view instead of a robot or copy and paste point of view, eBay will remain the top auction site of all time forever. I predict that will come out within the next 10 years that will give eBay some real competition.

Besides that as you might have noticed marktplaats is in dutch witch gives the dutch visitors a better feeling about it all then when they look at ebay.com. I also think dutch people are a bit affraid to order/buy something outside the netherlands.
                                                                              On marktplaats they have the idea that when they get fucked they can always go to the cops or something as it is all a local thing ;)
