In case you havent heard ebay is losing a lot of business to other newer auction sites due to its terrible policies and high fees. Anyhow I was thinking that since there are many new smaller auction sites ,a buyer who wants to find an item has to visit all sites to see all possible listings. It would be much easier if there was a search engine which would only look for auction title listings from all of the different auction sites. The results would then be listed alphabetically or by relevance. Each title would have to include tags in the url which would designate the page as an auction listing. All sites would benefit from the higher traffic from the searches,so it shouldnt be a hard sell to them.
