Having dealt with eBay for many years, I concluded they are without a doubt the largest target auction house on the net. Yes, there are several well know competitors, all of which do very well.
As a side note to my experiences with eBay and the Nigerian connection is this; they are nothing but scammers and foul up on sellers trying to make a decent living on eBay. Each time I listed an item (computers, etc) I would get a bid way out of line from some Nigerian scammer with a stolen eBay ID.
It got to a point of no return on my investment that I elected to server my relationship with eBay. eBay has the power to eliminate scamming yet they do nothing but send apology emails.
