Think maybe the folks that run eBay are Davis supporters?
Looking at the PTO website, the PTO database reveals that EBay has several trademarks on their logo and the page layout.

This is great news for the Simon campaign, especially since eBay is going to huff and puff, but they won't sue because they'll lose (as discussed earlier). Nobody wants to file a lawsuit and lose, since it might wind up diluting their trademark.
