In Sunday's Editorial, I'm asking for readers' opions about the following article published on 6/14/05:
"Commentary: Does eBay Have Its Sights on Hosting Ecommerce Sites?"
http://auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y05/m06/i14/s05

If eBay launched a service to enable sellers to create their own branded websites that used eBay software, would you be interested?

Do you already have your own website? If it became available, would you use eBay software to enter your inventory that could then be launched either to eBay or to your own website?

What are the pros and cons of an "independent" site hosted by eBay? How much would you be willing to pay?Ina Steiner, AuctionBytes.com
