Ebay taking Big Day Out to court

Earlier this year a number of cricket fans had their Ashes tickets cancelled because they bought them on the Internet auction site, eBay.
Now, organisers of the 2007 Big Day Out music festival have cancelled tickets sold online by scalpers.

Showbiz 7s: What Mark Schwan bought on Ebay

The "One Tree Hill" creator tells how he websurfed away his days.
Mark Schwan is the creator and executive producer of "One Tree Hill," but back when he was a feature film writer ("Whatever it Takes," "The Perfect Score," "Coach Carter"), he had more time on his hands and all kinds of hobbies.

That's a dangerous combination when it comes to Ebay. Now that he's busy writing and producing his television series, he has less time for hobbies but says he still likes to roll through Ebay now and then to window shop in cyberspace. "Plus, the show debuted for its fourth season on a new network this year (the CW) and initially, we didn't have a full season order, so bargains are always nice," he said.
