Time for AW to start its own auction service and take all of its users away from eBay? With a large enough base perhaps they can challenge the giant. All they need to do is "listen" to all the complaints from users about eBay and improve the service.

Unfortunately AW did not even listen to the complaints from it's own users, and myself and many others were forced to go elsewhere. With their fees being among the highest around for high volume users and their service being mediocre at best as far as launching on time, etc. I can't see them being the one to take anything away from Ebay.

AW has a tiny handful of users. In my opinion it is barely hanging on by a tiny thread. It takes money to start an auction site.

I would think that ebay users are too smart to be taken away by aw.
I think the two companies that have the best shot (and it is a long one) of ending the reign of ebay are yahoo and paypal. Both have lots of users. My guess is that aw has a VERY small percent of ebay sellers.
