eBay has its own takedown process and follows US law because they are US-based. They only seize domains for sites that are outside the US (but their domains are registered in the US) and do not respect US laws. There are still huge due-process concerns, though.

eBay has plenty of foreign sellers, but yes, they work with the authorities, not against them. So, I have to say, did MegaUpload and Kim DotCom. What's a foreign business to do?

The underlying issue is that a .com domain name is no longer safe, and I suspect the new top level domains will be in the same bucket.
