By taking this information from the hands of proprietary SEO actors and bringing it to a public realm, the playing field becomes more, not less, level.

...on eBay Revamps Business Model By Copying Competition. Novel!:
1:49, August 23rd, 2008: I've always gone to ebay for one thing, and one thing only: the cheapest stuff on the net. Ebay's able to provide this because apart from front end listings, they don't do much else to incure cost. Ebay allows small independent sellers to set up virtual storefronts that benefit from Ebay's massive number of bargain hungry users. Ebay offers payment services,listings, and well, not a lot else. Amazon offers a massive array of services, they do fulfillment, product reviews, merchandise their own products, offer affiliate marketing programs, and so on.

I'm think ebay is more or less headed in the right direction, but to say that they are parroting Amazon by encouraging the fixed price sales model that customers demand is, honestly, a little weak.
