I think you are not addressing the main advantage, though. Ebay is the largest auction, and as such it gives a seller access to a huge customer base. Even if one creates a perfect copy of Ebay, without the customer base it is not quite Ebay. Ebay is very much a natural monopoly, as it becomes bigger there are even less incentives to use another service. And because there is only a small minority of people who have trouble with Ebay, alternative services are in a very difficult position - we have all seen auctions popping up during the 98-00 period, who remembers them now?
