The above listing is an actual item that appeared on an eBay auction February 20th, 1999. The bidding got to dollars before it was halted. According to Hoovers (2004), eBay currently has sales of .1 billion with net profits of 1 million. Hof (2004) writes, “Sure, it already boasts more than 25 million items at any one time — from vintage lunch boxes to new DVD players. But its heady growth suggests a need for even more stuff. Last year, more than 40 million active buyers bought billion worth of goods, up 60% from 2002.” (par.1).

More than just a growth company, eBay is changing the way business is conducted around the world.

Please describe the four market structures in terms of both allocative and productive efficiency. Then examine how eBay (and companies like it) are impacting each? How might you respond to this challenge if a company you worked for was directly affected?
