May be room to compete in the E-Auction world

[LightHouse]

After reading this excerpt:

But while working with thousands of eBay technology developers to offer new shopping features like online maps and tools for communicating with buyers, eBay has irked many of its traditional sellers with a new ratings system that ranks sellers by such criteria as whether they offer free shipping. The higher their rating, the higher sellers appear in search rankings on eBay.com. But many of eBay’s sellers can’t afford free shipping, causing their search rank to decline.

It leads me to believe that like a lot of corporations that grow loose their roots. E bay sales for the smaller crowd have dropped of considerably. It used to be a mom and pop, and all the kids selling their old toys and yard sale merchandise. Now it seems as though these items are more expensive to cover ever growing fees and less visible buyers.

Is there room to compete now in the lower end of the e-auction market place?

Could a new company come in and regain the market with the smaller shops?

Or maybe it's an opening for one of the existing e-auctions sites to start a major marketing campaign and take their share of the market??

What do you think of this?
