I think eBay should stop metacrawlers that repurpose their content for consumer use. Why? The content is often out of date, which hurts eBay. It puts an unnecessary load on their servers. It uses their content to lure customers away from their site in order to introduce them to new auction sites (that pay auctionwatch to be there).
