The difference is that on ebay you get to set the price of what you are selling.

With Uber you don't. Uber gets to decide how much the ride costs, not you.

So if Uber implemented a bid/ask type pricing system that the driver had control over, people would drop the employee demand? I don't buy it.

No, if uber implemented bid/ask pricing then their case that drivers are independent contractors would hold more water
