Amazon steals all the EBay sellers when EBay raised the fees. Now Amazon
is
a network of small sellers. The trend continues. I saw Circuit City also
has
lots of affiliated merchants. It is nothing with the stores you see
everywhere. The price is also different. Basically people are pimping
their
brand names. The question is if Amazon and Circuit City can control the
quality from these affiliated merchants.

The answer is probably no. I have bad experiences in the end of EBay era.
Small merchants tend to do business not by the book.
