Think Microsoft, and how healty the computer marketplace would be if your government hadn't stepped in and shut down their free market policies. A Free market should not give companies the right to be so heavy handed that they eventually are the market. Even your government recognizes that, at least within your own country, though it isn't well practiced in international trade.

Governmental Regulation = Free Market? Sure, if we can just get the government more involved in the gas cost issue we'll all be better off. BTW - I've got this bridge in Brooklyn for sale.

Re: OT - eBay knocked down a peg
I haven't bought any equipment from e-bay for ages. My first step when looking for equipment is KEH for a price check. Then I check e-bay and I set my limit at what KEH charges. Everything I have wanted has gone for more than KEH prices for longer than 3 months so I bought from KEH. I really must get around to selling some more things on e-bay though.

Re: OT - eBay knocked down a peg
I can see why they would want a Paypal only for the extra fees, but if a seller wants to accept cheques and MO's thats should be his or her choice.

Some buyers will probably use it regardless of whether the buyer likes it or not, given that PayPal is always the first payment option listed on EBay checkout.
