They have an existing database of users to draw from, and have a worldwide footprint, so they are not starting from scratch. If their pricing model is less than Ebay or Agon they could become a formidable competitor to both.

Interesting development.

More focused than eBay, capturing the music market crowd too. What took them so long?

The company is certainly international on a large scale.
