1. Alex Malone: The internet economy conducts business through markets whose infrastructure is based on the Internet and World-Wide Web. An Internet economy differs from a traditional economy in a number of ways, including: communication, market segmentation, distribution costs, and price. Use reference to eBay rather than use it as main focus. Concentrate more on answering question.
2. Alex Cop: Fundamental economic basis of internet commerce is that business is conducted through markets that are based on the internet and web.
3. _stephumz_: the backend of the online business - the foundations of it … and what they stand for
4. Jean Moss: if we remove internet for now - what is the main economic reason for commerce?
5. Penny (Myrth): maybe that's our main point - eBay got it right and are successful therefore contributed to shaping online economic models?
6. Penny (Myrth): which opens questions like how did eBay set themselves apart, why were they successful, did their economic model exist before or did they define a new one?
7. Liz Power: the internet has redefined the marketplace and eBay has capitalized on a networked economy.
