Wrong, and just plain silly.

Please back this up, because I have no idea what you're getting at. To me
the above makes perfect sense. I'm interested to know why you think Ebay has
a problem with other people trying to give out information which diverts
Ebay buyers from buying on Ebay auctions.

As far as what I know:

- Fewer or no bidders means lower or no ending prices.
   - this means less money for Ebay
   - also means sellers will be discouraged from Ebay
       - this means less money for Ebay
- Less people to advertise to? But Ebay doesn't do adverts, really...
   - this WOULD mean less others buying ad space on Ebay
       - which means less money for Ebay... if it's something they do?

I don't really see that as silly or wrong, but if you could provide some
more insight...
