eBay is effectively a monopoly. I can no more take my business to another
electric, water, or gas supplier than to another auction site. . This is more
insideous, since a user has no idea what information is being collected or what
use is being made of it. There are federal laws protecting information such as
medical and financial. None such protections exist in cyberspace. I resent both
Big Brother and Big Sister.
