The Associated Press reports that eBay is suing rival auction site BidBay for copying eBay's look and feel. Last year, AuctionWatch reported that eBay attorneys had sent two letters to BidBay charging intellectual property infringement due to the site's alleged similarity to the online auction leader http://www.auctionwatch.com/awdaily/dailynews/march00/6-030900.html (March 9, 2000). Interestingly, a search for the term "BidBay" on eBay's auction site turned up a BidBay T-shirt for sale, and a search for the term "eBay" on BidBay turned up 6 e-books on how to make money selling on eBay.
