Now owned by eBay - makes me feel insecure as to the future of the open source model and the separation between ebay, paypal and their other interests.

Competition law issues and conflict of interests for ebay to own this sector as well as owning the worlds biggest marketplace - most magento shop owners and site operators are competing with ebay and ebay sellers - this is a serious issue.

We may be controlled by ebay and our successes dictated by their development of magento, which will inevitably be head to head in terms of priorities, when looking at the small traders.

Ebay could wipe out most competition for their marketplace if they later choose to bring magento community / open source model to an end. Thereby forcing online consumers to shop on ebay marketplace, and so ebay will benefit from commissions on sales there.

MARK MY WORDS - this will happen - and this is why they bought magento out.

Magento is expensive on the tech support side for a number of reasons. Firstly, it’s a complex system in the background, and this means it often takes even experienced Magento developers time to learn how to do what you need them to do. If you want to go for the enterprise option, which includes support directly from Magento, you are looking at around $15,000 / year (with the most expensive Premium Enterprise package clocking in at a staggering $50,000 / year.
