Do you know if there's any legal difference between Amazon's book sales, and eBay's auction brokerage? I would think that "Amazon sells book & pays 30% of that sale to author" is different from "Person sells book & pays eBay 5% (or whatever) of the sale," but I'm not sure. eBay also seems to be profiting directly from the sale of copyright-infringing items.
