So it's to be double secret trademark protection, then
Posted by Geoffrey Manne on January 18, 2006
The People have spoken and we, being weak-willed saps craving of the People’s attention, have caved to their demands. I know — many of you are in the silent minority (majority?) who really liked seeing all those little TMs all over our blog. You have been railroaded like us by this corner of the Internet’s vocal pro-commons majority (minority?). But deep in our hearts we know that we wish, secretly, to preserve our property rights. And so we crawl back into our hole, content in the knowledge that we may eventually establish “double secret” trademark protection even without the annoying little indicia. (Viva la revolucion!)

To be clear, since our marks appear on the World Wide Web, we assert double secret trademark and service mark rights throughout the world.

Bill’s “throughout the world” should be read “throughout . . . the WORLD!!!!!” and should be followed by sinister, demonic laughter.

Just curious, do you have permission to use eBay’s registered trademark? Not sure that you’d need it, just asking. I’m not a law professor, so I won’t venture a guess.
