Is there an e-commerce problem that Amazon and eBay don't solve?

[marc100]

Im trying to identify a "marketplace" need that eBay doesnt cover.
I've spent time putting together a marketplace and Im met with constant friction on it.

100% of the time I'm asked this question: "How are you different from eBay?
50% of the time I'm asked this question: "Why does someone need to buy from you when they can just buy from Amazon?"

I'm looking to change my focus and cover more of a business need, but I can't discover one that eBay doesnt already cover.
