That sounds like a good match for eBay, though. Amazon is presenting itself as a store, eBay is presenting itself as a marketplace. In the same way I would run Amazon into the ground, I would suggest to eBay to embrace the marketplace and phase out the auction aspect.

This is why I'm a software engineer and not a retail tycoon ;-).

Ebay has bought a number of companies in other countries that are much more marketplace-oriented.

For example Mercado Libre. Originally from Argentina (I think) but it's all over Latin America now. They used to have auctions but at least in Mexico it's mostly a marketplace.
