[bbocpxoh] Centralized online marketplace

Amazon.com threatens to become a natural monopoly, as both buyers and sellers seek a centralized market.

This would allow Amazon to extract monopoly profits as the middle man (it probably already does).

How should this be regulated?  Replace it a single government-run market?  Need to permit unorthodox pricing methods like auctions (Ebay).
