Well, you need to remember eBay's place in the world w/r/t the federal
gov't.:

They are a bank, but they are not a bank.

They are a seller, with no responsibility for what they sell.

One small change in either law, and their business model takes a
serious hit...

I think they want to be on the "right" side of the Gov't... ;^)
