With programming development now started on eBay’s Future Competitor, I’m fully aware of the complexity of the road ahead. Last night, as I sat in deep thought, I wondered what could I do to offer a unique opportunity to the future users of our website.

Then it hit me. Why not allow the users who’re active with the website, the opportunity to have ownership in the company? I guess you could look at it like a possible stock option.

Though I haven’t spoke with an attorney about this yet, I wanted to open the idea to you, the potential users. How would you feel if you were allowed ownership in a service, based upon your buyer/seller activity with the website?
