  • eBay is "paying" Buy in some way that the difference is made up and still lands in Buy's pockets?
  • oh gee, could it possibly be that buy.com would like to drive the other major music sellers off of eBay? and then have free rein to up prices?

    No, that wouldn't work, because once buy.com raised prices competitors would move back in.

    So, I dunno. headed back to the sofa.
