Quoted from ForceFlow:ebay had the advantage of basically being the first one on the block and became well-known and popular as the Internet grew up. It would be incredibly difficult to recreate that perfect storm.
If you search for ebay alternatives, there are a few, but they aren't really well-known, even less so to the average person. ebay is kind of the universal gold standard for selling stuff on the Internet.
Go ask MySpace how the first-mover concept worked out.
