I tend to look at most of these tools as components to a business. EBay may work for certain solutions and not for others. And your calculation of whether or not to use it may depend on what you are trying to accomplish. I've never liked the idea of over-reliance on one tool at any point in business development, because one variation could finish you.

I like the idea of providing funding to small business entrepreneurs, but is eBay the place to build a new small business anymore? The site seems dominated by Power Sellers and I don't know how relevant the site is to smaller sellers these days (I personally stopped using the site when they increased their fees).
