(...) I believe this is an issue of trademark rather than copyright. eBay(r) has some copyrighted material but Brickbay(tm) isn't infringing on any of it to the best of my knowledge.

(...) I'm an eBay user and I don't think that it would be of any use to do a boycott. It seems to me that no matter what you want to do against eBay, it is a lost cause. They just don't care!
