What's likely to happen if Ebay legally stops others from grabbing the data, is lots of consumers will simply move to an auction service that doesn't restrict the distribution and aggregation of bids.

Yahoo, Amazon, CNEt, ZDNet, and lots of other auction sites have just as good or better auction services, just not the user base that Ebay has.

Ebay is only hurting themselves by restricting their data.
