I think there are arguments against that. eBay must just provide the service,
but they also run the auction. The seller sets some of the parameters (starting
bid, duration of auction, visibility), but the seller does not set bid
increments, collect bids, nor close the auction.
So I'd say it's a least a lot gray.
