Its been around a long time and ebay have not said a wordI have even registered on ebay with an e3ay email address. As long as I am not using it to con anyone into thinking we are ebay or have registered it with some strange charector set to try and make the domains look exactly like ebay (homographing or what ever its called). I cannot see as they can touch me the site is driven by a completely different scripting language there is no danger of a typo taking you from ebay to e3ay ( the 3 being on the oposite end of the keyboard to the b ). And whilst sites such as ebid, ebuyer, dbay etc all exist. I think the most they would be able to acheive is to give me lots of free publicity.

Can I just ask a question. Honestly what reason made you go for that domain name? It's hardly a name that people can easily tell others. Was it purely because you thought what a great name for an auction site or what?!
Just ignore this if you want as in all honesty it ain't any of my business and is your own business decision!
I can't remember to be honest m8 I remember buying over £1000,00 worth of paintball guns from the states and paying the import duty for them only to have ebay ban paintball gun sales a week before they arrived (might be a grudge ) lol
I have property-auction.org.uk which I intend on using at some point and uk-auctionsites.co.uk
I know e3ay isn't a great name and just reads imitation - not as good - copy cat
