You’ve got to like the analogy by the New York Times’ Brad Stone in his piece about Facebook. He likens Facebook application hype to the 1949 gold rush:

I always wondered why ebay didn't similary stamp paypal. Paypal would have gone bankrupt in no time, and we wouldn't have to hear about all these self-important idiotic paypal alumni.

eBay blocks ALL non-secured communication methods. Even Skype is rarely used and in many cases blocked from listings. Most fraud is caused by people engaging in activity off eBay. It's actually a good thing for the community at large. Sad, but true.
