The "e" means "electronic", as in "email"... it refers to the internet etc. So it's a n E-bay. A bay is like an airport for ships to dock in. That's what ebay is. Amazon doesn't have a bay - nobody can dock into Amazon. Look at the history of merchant ships etc, they don't unload their cargo in the amazon jungle, they do it in in a ship bay. That's always been where the big money is made.

This is the big advantage of ebay. It's why ebay will outperform Amazon in the long run. Amazon is fundamentally limited because it lacks the bay component.
