I like the AJAX search function. Not much of a selection of R/C stuff though...

Read the article, they have serious funding behind them. I remember ebay back 10 years ago when they were still new. They were nowhere near the powerhouse they are now. It will take time, I am just glad competitors are popping up.

I think if someone could write the software, an auction site strictly for RC could be a big hit. Just takes knowledge, skills, time, and money!

I sent them a laundry list of things to put up for their site in respect to their toys and hobbies >rc section. I hope they take at least 1 suggestion and unlock it LOL

Ebay lost me when they quit covering non-ebay transactions. Transaction outside of Ebay, you're on your own. From what I've read, its the big institutional sellers that make ebay their money - they don't need or care about the little guys - more of a nuisance that anything.

I would welcome some serious competition against ebay, but they need to have their act together from the get go to be a player. Everyone's going to expect ebay performance and they won't get a lot of chances before they start turning off people.
