Only a venue ha ha! If you CHOOSE to do 100% of your selling on eBay they DO own you and pull the strings
If you enjoy giving eBay control over your business by all means DO put all of your eggs in one basket. If you want to control your business--diversify, open a web site, list a portion of your items on Overstock, Yahoo, Craigslist, Google Base (redirecting Base shoppers back to eBay doesn't count)
