I wonder why eBay does not have this domain ebay.cc in their portfolio.

It's incredible that GoDaddy would even permit that auction. It's a blatant TM violation!

One of these days a company with DEEEEEEP pockets is going to go after middlemen like GoDaddy that facilitate this BS! It gives all domainers a bad name!

Here is the breakdown:

1.) GoDaddy allows trademarks to be listed.
2.) Someone takes the bait and buys the name.
3.) Trademark holder files dispute with GoDaddy.
4.) GoDaddy makes another $30 from the buyer for relaying paperwork.
5.) Buyer loses domain to TM holder.
6.) GoDaddy profits.

So, if I own an extremely well known trademark, I am somehow obligated to buy every crap extension that comes out?

Last week, a DNforum member penalized with 30$ by Godaddy after buying a TM domain when the TM holder complained to WIPO.

It does not look like the TM owner filed a complaint.

If no one bids in the next few hours the domain name then goes to a buy now for $5

It seems the guy in Twain had this domain a few years.

I will not bid or encourage any one else to bid, save you cash!

I wonder how:?:
When I post the url http://ebay.cc/ or www.ebay.cc it redirects to ebay.com

Yes :) It's often more cost-effective then WIPOing later.
