That is a damn shame. How is the guy supposed to sell his software if he cant reference ebay in a google listing?

fenix, I was just thinking the same thing. They already own us in a way. Pretty soon the whole internet will be just one big ebay.

first shabby chic, now eBay, bay and what ever else enters their mind. I think it all stems from the last lawsuit they lost.

Ebay trademarked the word "Bay" and Al Gore invented the internet. No one has been able to trade mark generic everyday names but they are allowed to continue trying to use bully tactics until someone challenges them.

Guess I won't be able to find "Tampa Bay Buccaneers" using Google. Greedy corporate bas turds.
